well, it is Caleb’s last game of the season today.
He made the JV team for the high school team, which was quite an accomplishment — considering there are close to 3,500 kids that go to that school. (and tons of kids play soccer!)
Speaking of the school (John Marshall High School) - from the outside, it is a beautiful school. Its claim to fame is that Leonardo DiCaprio attended there for a while…
But sadly, it is like most LAUSD school (Los Angeles Unified School District) . Under-performing, some gang issues, fights that break out sometimes, and kids just not passing their classes. We know a couple of great teachers there (there are probably tons of teachers there beyond what we know) — that really, really are trying to make a difference and doing a great job — but it is so hard.
Overall though — it has been a great experience for Caleb. And the best thing of all — he can walk to school. Who would have thought we would move to Los Angeles & live close enough for him to walk.
