I agree with both Violet and Smellycat here.
Some private and homeschools do not have the same curriculim(sp?), arts, music, PE (?) sports, computer, INTERACTION WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD.
As "Christian" parents we will have to work harder to teach biblical truths to our kids and grandkids and find other outlets of fun, clubs, camps, etc... for them.:jesus-cross:
Unfortunatly, the masses can't all be homeschooled or privately tutered. Money is a big issue for the lower income. Also, parents that both work, or have drug issues, or other issues or who are never home...I digress....
My youngest just graduated high school. If I had to do it all over again, I would home it of go private. School is very scary and dangerous now. Good teaches no longer have any rights to defend themselves, and the bad ones keep getting in without having background checks done..tsk tsk.
