Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought private schools would be something I would consider for my kids, let alone feel like it's a necessity. I grew up pretty poor in the public school system, with my Mom working her butt off to make ends meet and provide. When I moved to St John's county, I heard nothing but amazing things about the school system. So when we have not had good experiences in the three years we've been here, I knew something had to change for my kids.
