We’re taking our kids out next year. They’ve pushed us too far this year (and we are in Texas...can’t imagine what other parents go through) with teaching that is away from the 3 r’s. Even though we are evangelical Christians...its more about teaching them well and getting them away from the Katrina hoodlums that have infiltrated our neighborhoods than it is about making sure they learn their bible. They know all about Dr. King, but nothing about George Washington or Abe Lincoln.

In the kindest possible manner I ask the following:
Why not today?
Is there an urgent reason you must keep them in school until June?
Think of it this way:
How many months have your children lived? What percentage of their lives is 5 months? The younger the children the greater is that percentage, and the greater the influence of the government madrassas your children.
For example: For a 5 year old, 5 months is close to 1/10th or 10% of his life.
Very respectfully,
Wintertime
My daughter is one of the lucky ones in a Texas school (Garland ISD) who has an American history teacher that teaches all about George and Abe and Andrew and Patrick and Ben and the Johns, Samuels, Thomases, etc. It's her favorite class.
She's been learning alot about government in this election year and is making the best grades in class. She tells me many times the teacher asks questions particularly about what's going on in the world and current events related to the election and she's the only one who knows the answer.
She's probably the only kid who has Free Republic on her IE home page, too. [grin]
