This afternoon was my 1st-grader’s school open house. John Salmons and some other unfamiliar players of the Chicago Bulls visited the school. According to the school principal, my daughter’s school was chosen as one of the schools that are being adopted by NBA Cares program because they have one of the highest percentage of students who passed the ISAT exams last school year. My hubby was a bit disappointed cos he was expecting Derick Rose will be there hehe. I’m so proud that this is Yuna’s school. My hubby was right, Yuna is in the best school here in Chicago… one of the best.
To those who asked me if Yuna goes to a private school the answer is NO. William C. Goudy is a public school. I don’t think middle class family would like to send there kids to a private school when there are lots of decent public schools here in the US. Well, some kids go to private schools but more like a day care center but its not a big community school. Big private schools here in the US are expensive and when I say expensive, we are talking about $18K-$30k per school year. Well that depends where you live but if you live in the city that’s the approximate range of rates. Also, majority of the students here in the US go to public schools cos they’re saving for college. Expensive isn’t it? Unlike in the Philippines, there’s lots of big private schools which are affordable. But like we always say, it doesn’t matter what school you go to as long as you never let it interfere with your education.
Moreover, I’m so glad that the school counsel decided to let their students wear uniforms starting this school year. There’s few obvious reasons why most parents agreed to let their kids wear uniforms. First, is because, it is much cheaper and 2nd is you save lots of dirty clothes to be washed. As for my own point of view, I prefer uniform because it looks more neat. Also, I think it’s nice to hear if some people will think that your kids goes to a private school like we always encountered because generally public school in the US don’t have uniforms.

School issued 2 types of uniform in 4 different colors. They have short and long sleeved polo shirt available in gray, white, light/baby blue and maroon colors. They also have separate P.E uniforms. The bottoms have two choices for girls. They can wear pants or skirt. School did it in purpose so students can still freely choose what to wear for the day.

You’re daughter is adorable! Very pretty!
I think that public education is fine as long as your child is in a safe environment and getting a great education it doesn’t matter whether or not it’s a private school. My son goes to one of the best school’s in our city as well, and it’s a public school. I’m very happy with the quality of education he is receiving. As you said, private school is way too expensive for most people, anyway.
Hello ate scart! nagpaparamdam ulet hehehe.. 1st grader na pala si Yuna
parang kelan lang nun tinuturuan mo pa sya sa mga videos mo, pati si Freya anlaki na rin. Napansin ko nga rin most school in the US public ang pinapasukan simula pre-elem to secondary noh, maganda naman kasi yun pamamaraan ng school dyan eh unlike dito pag sinabing public iniisip ng iba panget para lang talaga sa mahirap pero sabi nga nila mas maganda pa nga daw turo sa public kesa sa private. Anyway napahaba na comment ko hihihi.. Namiss ko magbasa ng mga blogs nyo 
Take care.
Wow! It’s cool that they have uniforms at their school. First of all it’s gonna be pretty expensive anyway if there are no uniforms involved.. it would be a hassle to choose an outfit for her every single day. It’s nice that the Chicago Bulls visited your daughter’s school also!
