The Uninformed Parent: Recent Episodes
None
Description: Denise Rappmund shares some of the surprises that greeted her when moving her son from a private preschool to a public elementary school — namely, loss of control over his lunch (and even breakfast) choices and a lack of reliable digital communication. We also meet Brian and Emily Smith, who are trying to decide where their son will attend kindergarten next fall, and the website problems Rappmund is experiencing are causing them consternation, too.

That's the main question we'll be exploring this year. Our hope is to help Dallas parents take a better and deeper look at their neighborhood schools, and journey with families for all of the questions, hesitations, soul-searching, etc. that revolve around school decisions. We're starting with schools in north Oak Cliff, where the demographics of the neighborhood look different than its neighborhood public schools. In this episode, meet Denise Rappmund and her son, Sacha, who recently started kindergarten at James. S. Hogg Elementary.
