We recently (on Aug 7th ) moved from our own house in Milpitas to a rental home in Fremont. This move was, courtesy, being able to send our elder daughter to supposedly one of the best schools in America, Mission San Jose High School.
I have read both good and bad reviews of Mission San Jose High School. The bad reviews are mostly centered around the fact that kids may not get a chance to do anything else but academics and hence misses out on developing an all round personality. The good reviews are mostly centered around how this school forces you to channelize your energies towards academics for you to be successful in your later years.
I am still not taking sides and will share my experience as we move along with our daughter in her High school journey. However, I really liked one feedback about the school that the school refuses to take mediocrity lying down. The school seems to push the students to work hard. It's high time that school system in US pushes the high school students, at the minimum, to compete in an increasingly flatter world given a very sedentary educational lifestyle till middle school years in US vs. cut throat pressure in many asian countries.
I am crossing my fingers and hope for the best for our move and a good high school experience ahead for my daughter.

Sonch is the exact Hindi translation of the word "Thought". I was struggling to find a heading for my blog. I settled for "Sonch" because that's precisely what I intend to use this blog for - Write my thoughts about random topics that interests me. It's my personal experience that most of the times the solution to an issue or a problem lies in going back to the basics and by objectively reviewing the purpose of your action.
