I know this might be shocking to hear, but 2 things:

1. What happens/is taught at home >>>>>>> teachers who get your kid for 50 min/day

2. It's probably a pretty damn good teachable opportunity if your child encounters differing opinions in school. Gives your kid the chance to practice listening to others, then explaining why they think that's incorrect and backing it up with facts.

Why people want their children to live in echo chambers is beyond me. Nothing like robbing kids of an opportunity to prepare for the real world.

I'd love to have you point out where I said anywhere in my original question that I desired an "echo chamber." If you've been paying any attention to what's happening in the United States in the last decade with social media, MSM, peer pressure and woke teachers then you'd realize it can go beyond what you teach at home. She is excellent at debate and we do just fine at home. However, I'm not oblivious to what can happen when a developing person is exposed to a bombardment of woke leftist thinking every single day. Think next time before you post.

American Thinker called. They want their fake news talking points back.

Bruh. This is public high school in Texas. Not liberal arts college in Portland.

Your kid gonna be ok going to HS in the Hill Country.

I'm sorry, but the minute you used the word "bruh" you lost any credible take on this. I am also looking for people with actual recent experience in this particular district and you do not seem to have any, which makes me wonder why you're even on this thread. The last time that I checked, Texas has many schools that are infested with leftists' talking points. So unless you have anything to say from real relevant experience with this particular thread topic, I would appreciate you taking your general issues back over to the political board.

That being said, if you'd like to start a thread on said board about why you do not think any Texas high schools have leftists in the students' ears, I would be very interested in that thread. I will keep an eye out for it if you're interested.

Just like any public I'm sure there will be leftists, that being said most people I know from SV are pretty conservative. I would say that's one of the least liberal HS in San Antonio metro

Badger......Upon further review, your concerns remind me of a conversation I had with my late mother almost 30 years ago concerning my older son and the drug problems, at the time, when he was a sophomore at Robert E. Lee. My mother was of the opinion he should should be taken out of Lee and sent to private school and she was more than willing to help pay for it. My counter argument was that was a waste of time and money. You can run, but you can't hide. There were drug at TMI, drugs at the Catholic schools etc. My point to you is I don't think you can prevent what you're trying to prevent. You may get less of it at SV, but you can't prevent it.

None would be

That's just simply not true

Since the beginning of time you have been able to find people in any setting with different viewpoints of your own. I graduated from a high school 15 miles from SV sometime in the last decade, and attended A&M more recently. The idea of indoctrination in the suburbs of San Antonio is laughable. Sure, there were people with more liberal leaning ideas, almost all of which I disagreed with as a conservative, but running from these people is a problem. If anything, I'm glad I was exposed to some of this thinking. Why be a sheep and listen to other people tell you why you should dislike a group of people when you can learn the reasons yourself?

IMO, just as easy as MSM can brainwash you, so can anyone in your life you give too much credit to unwarranted. I've seen it myself from my time in high school and college. What it seems to come down to among all of my peers is, those that were taught right from wrong by their authority figure in their life, how to be financially independent, how good getting a paycheck after a hard days work feels and how reading outside of class could be more valuable to accurate learning than what may be taught in school is what differentiated some of us from the others.

This is all just my opinion, and I wish your kid the best of luck. Maybe I'm wrong and indoctrination is more serious of an issue now in high schools, but even in my time in high school and at Texas A&M more recently, it was extremely overblown. Just another talking point the MSM has in impacting our country, among the million other examples of them doing that.

Anyways, SV is probably one of best public high schools in SA besides AH, Reagan, Johnson just to name a few. Probably has less of a liberal leaning than any of those. I live in the area now and would certainly send my kid there if I had any of that age. They are generally well staffed, having higher than average scores on ACT/SAT, and offer many AP classes with higher passing rates to get credits to save money in college.
