C.W. Nevius' columns about parents' distress over San Francisco schools rang a bell with me, and I was prompted to weigh in about my delight with the public schools my daughter has attended in San Francisco.
When my daughter was starting kindergarten, friends said: "You can't stay in San Francisco; you have to move!" I heard this often enough that I worried. Did my husband and I have to leave the city we loved?
Well, we did decide to stay, and we entered our daughter in our neighborhood school, Fairmount Elementary. "You can't send her there - she won't learn anything at a Spanish immersion school," friends protested. I worried anew.
We chose a school that still needed help, but a new principal was coming in, and over the years the school became one of the most desirable in the city, thanks to the work of a great principal and dedicated parents. I quickly became involved with the school, and started working with the principal to write a weekly letter to parents. I would write his words in English; he then would write the message in Spanish so that it could be read by all the school families, who were half native English speakers, and half native Spanish speakers.
I watched the school earn a better and better reputation. Applications for admission increased. The school is on the border of Noe Valley, the Mission District and Glen Park, and it became more desirable for families from all of those areas.
I realized that this school we had chosen for our daughter was really our community. As she learned Spanish, we learned (some) Spanish, and developed friendships.
Over time, I saw more and more that I loved about raising my daughter in San Francisco. San Francisco students are regularly taken to the opera, ballet, symphony and museums. One of her teachers in elementary school worked with San Francisco Opera performers, who came to the school and had the students do a performance with opera stars.
In third grade, she was one of seven kids in her class chosen for a yearlong scholarship with the San Francisco Ballet. She has a pair of ballet slippers given to her by a professional ballerina she met.
When she began kindergarten, she joined a soccer team, and now, eight years later, the girls still play together.
My daughter is on a softball team through San Francisco Little League. She is also on the track and softball teams at James Lick Middle School, which has an extension of the Spanish immersion program she began at Fairmount.
Her grades continue to be good, and I wonder if part of it is from learning Spanish, because I hear about how being bilingual helps kids with other studies.
She said that, from the students she knew when she entered kindergarten eight years ago, she can count at least nine who are attending the top high school in our city, Lowell High School, which counts among its alumni Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.
I'm very glad we stayed in San Francisco. My daughter has a group of friends from all over the world, and she has had school experiences I never could have dreamed of.
