big007,

seems like u care so much about having lunch together with your kid at school!
my kid also has allergy but i never care about having lunch with him. as long as the allergy is not life-threatening, it should be fine.

i think most elementary schools (public or private) don't have any rules set for letting parents come to school to have lunch together with the kids. it might depend more on the culture of the school. for the white people, they seldom sit with the kids at lunch unless they're volunteer to help during lunch time. however, i know a lot of Chinese parents or grandparents bring lunch for their kids and eat/sit with them every day. some Indians do that too. it's very common at my friend's kids' school in Cupertino. one day the principal didn't allow the parents to stay with the kids for lunch if they're not volunteers.

if you're really concerned about your kid's allergy issue, your kid should be old enough to know what s/he can eat or cannot eat starting from kindergarten. also, the kids are not supposed to share food at school due to allergy issues. whoever watch them during lunch recess should stop them from sharing food.

big007,

to choose from private or public schools, usually my friends send their kids to private schools if they have 1 or 2 kids, or send them to public schools if they have 2 or more kids.

for the price of the private schools, in general it's you paid what you got!
example of a $25k to $30k private elementary school
- usually hard to get in even if u have the money, much lower teacher:student ratio, high profile of getting into ivy league colleges if graduated from their middle/high school, excellent facilities, special subject teacher for each single subject, organic lunch and custom-ordered lunch service available at extra charge, a wide variety of after-school activities on site (free or at extra charge), etc.
- usually the parents there are more classy or you have the country-club feeling.

example of a $7k private school
- most likely it's a Catholic or Christian school
- academic standard might be about the same as an above-average public school, but moral standard might be higher
- class size might be more or less about the same as an average public school
- might be a small school located at a church with limited facilities and resources, so volunteer hours from parents might not be less than that at a public school.

the above two examples are the two extremes.

rose-mag,

i'm kinda with you, coz our school's board members mainly consist of Caucasians as 85-90% of the student population is white.

an ABC mom and i (both stay-home moms) asked if we could join the math committee, but no one got back to us.

so, the white parents at our school are kinda like the ABC parents at your school ...

唉，以為只係我地唔好彩，今年我仔果班同另一班都有家長想幫手做嘢，大家都提咗意見，老公更係有心幫學校，但估唔到個PTA冇號召力嘅原因係呢5位家長唔接受改變，咁明明PTA係大家嘅，而家好似私有化咁。老公同我講想我地去攪多一個，號召一班有心家長去做嘢，但我覺得咁樣唔係幾好，果幾位女士唔係唔做嘢，只係佢地心態唔同，我地肯犧牲family time去幫學校，佢地唔肯，有時太多人想做嘢煩，冇人做又煩。我同老公講或者我地組織一D直接同校長老師做嘅活動，例如攪一個兒童醒獅隊，等D小朋友有得玩，呢D同PTA冇抵觸，有時真係好想好似小朋友咁簡單，食飽瞓飽有得玩就開心。

rose-mag,

我記得你同你husband整咗隻turkey返學校，你哋好好呀，返工咁忙，但仍然盡力參加學校嘅活動。

我哋呢度都好似係呢個月尾開始報名（我都唔係好知），如果 miss 咗個報名日期會唔會冇書讀吔？

你個同事報咁多學校嘅？佢係咪驚冇學校收呀？

big007,

bee_happy,

我仔仔係對幾種食物敏感，有一，兩種仲要係幾犀利，你話我點可以唔擔心呢？!

我哋有教仔仔唔好要人哋比嘅食物，飲品，唔好同人sharing food。但我哋擔心啲小朋友咁細個，可能其它啲小朋友會掂吓佢啲食物，（我唔係話其它啲小朋友有惡意，佢哋只係好奇）咁就唔知點算。

我諗我會係陪食 lunch 果 group parents，不過我哋呢度好少 Asian，香港人就更加少，我陪仔仔食 lunch ，唔知會唔會另到佢比人笑呢？

原來咁樣，好多謝你嘅 information 呀！

我想問吓學校多唔多活動，重唔重要吔？我見啲朋友嘅子女都冇參加學校嘅課外活動嘅？反而自己報名外面啲興趣班。

講真，屋企一個人搵錢，讀 private school 對我哋嚟講係一件幾吃力嘅事，但如果間學校係適合仔仔嘅，我哋都會比仔仔讀。

我哋要搵嘅,係一間適合嘅學校，出唔出名都唔重要，但唔知點搵先咁呢？
