I attended Faith baptist since 1st grade until the 9th grade and it opened my eyes to how one-sided their view on life is. When I transfered to William Howard Taft, I found out what "diversity" is, and the reality is that many of my friends who graduated from Faith baptist are doing nothing with their lives. I did enjoy elementary school, but Junior high was so horrifying and first year of high school was so depressing. Until this day, I am still revolting over the rules and hatred they have for non-christians. Faith Baptist strangled me, mentally, and when I left, it was the freedom from FB that allowed me to grow. I remember my class went from 100 students to 40 students when I left. I remember I was so confused with all the religious propaganda they put into my head that I had nightmares. At the same time, the teachers and pastors are hypocrites because there was all these rumors of infidelity. Teachers getting fired for misconduct. I remember going to church at 1pm after lunch and one day, I got beat up right outside of church and a parent stopped it, and nothing happened to the kids involved. This is a school who reprimands you if you do not cut your hair a certain way, or wear a belt with your pants. It was strange. I still believe in God and I still go to church, but I don't believe that Faith Baptist teaches the true meaning of what the Bible preaches. They have a good math/calculus, computer and english programs; but everything else is either mediocre or average when compared to LAUSD schools. I would send my children for elementary because they do teach good fundamentals in terms of study habits, and grooming; but I would not have them attend Junior high/senior high there. You do not want your child brainwashed and view the world with such a one-sided perspective especially when teenagers need to experience themselves what is right and wrong, and they need to figure out how the world works with out the rigors of cultist religion and fanatical beliefs.
