Educational turf war down south
I am the mother of a 6th grader at Otay Academy of the Arts. My son is smart and talented Before enrolling him at Otay Academy he told me that he hated school. He felt like a Robot. Previous years he was enrolled in Olympic View Elementary. I was so excited to find this alternative school. Every day he comes out of school and says "I loved school today". He is a totally different child. Learning through projects, music, dance he is happy. I am happy as I watch him grow into an assertive young adult. He is impassioned with his computer class. He loves his dance class. If this school were to close it would break his heart. I will never return him to the current Chula Vista Elementary system where he is made to feel like a robot. He would be home schooled. The district would not get money for him anyway. Our children deserve this amazing alternative if we choose it.— March 5, 2016 11:02 a.m.
