Jackson kids may be sent to private school

Will this be good for the Jackson children? Will this begin the trend of a normal life for the “King of Pops” children? One would hope, but as long as they are alive, I fear that they will never be given the chance at a normal life. Hounded by Paparazzi and rumors of their father and his past.
Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and Prince Michael II, 7 may soon be enrolled into a Los Angeles private school stated an unidentified source close to the Jackson family. They stated that Katherine is considering stopping the home schooling and sending the children to Buckley School.
Many of the extended Jackson family have attended the school in the past to include three childen of Tito Jackson.
The school is close to the Jackson’s Encino home in Los Angeles and the neighborhood is heavily protected.
I wish the kids the best of luck whether home schooled or inrolled in Buckley School.
About Buckley School
The Buckley School was founded in 1933 as an independent co-educational institution by Dr. Isabelle Buckley. Drawing on her experiences abroad where schools emphasized a well-rounded program, Dr. Buckley developed her own 4-Fold Plan of Education, focusing on academic training, physical development, moral education and creative expression. During the early years, campuses were located in L.A., Tarzana, Encino, and on Woodman Avenue and Riverside Avenue in Sherman Oaks. In 1964, Dr. Buckley purchased land that had been owned by the Glenaire Country Club and by 1973 was able to accommodate all divisions of the school on the new Stansbury Avenue campus in Sherman Oaks. Today, The Buckley School is a college preparatory day school, with students in kindergarten through grade twelve.
Enrollment
750 students total
Lower School: 257 students (kindergarten through grade five)

2009–2010 Tuition and Fees
Our fees are composed of two parts: a tuition charge, which covers instruction costs during the regular academic day, and an additional fee which covers the annual cost of textbooks, workbooks, certain school supplies, physical education uniforms, student accident insurance, milk, school publications, and support of extensive classes in the visual and performing arts. The fees are higher in the Middle and Upper School to cover such extra items as laboratory and art supplies, uniforms for interscholastic athletics, etc.
 
Students who enroll at Buckley for the first time will be charged an additional non-refundable $2,000 fee. This new student fee should be paid along with the commitment deposit at the time of enrollment. For new seniors only, the new student fee will be $4,000 to cover the costs of college counseling, transcript preparation and graduation.
