[QUOTE="john250, post: 621976, member: 4406"] I would like to say that the public schools would be better if they were for everyone. I treasure the characters I met in public school. Maintaining control over your childrens' contacts is a poor reason, I think, to go to home schooling. It is your job to teach your kids how to meet the world, even if you are like me and don't know much yourself. I think I knew all the major cuss words by the time I was 15, and I was probably sheltered. I know them all, and I have combined them in some creative ways, working with cows. But hey, you could talk to me and think I was a deacon. I learned when it was appropriate to cuss, and when not from my parents--not the school. Plenty of good folks work the public schools. They work within the constraints of ludicrous laws which require us to spend school money on social ills, leaving less to educate the average joe and jane. Parental concerns trump all, IMO. So if you chose to homeschool, I think you have that right. Some will work it right, some will fail. I just hope if you try it you get the opinion of several people who will give you an honest opinion. [/QUOTE]
