I firmly believe that some children can shine in the public schools.
I also believe that some parents are MUCH better off with their children in Public Schools however, unlike you, most of them don't want to be around their kids anyway.
I homeschool because the Public Schools failed my daughter who attended K and 1st grade. I know both of yours and mine will turn out great!
(my four year old is a genius...BTW. LOL!)
I agree. I think there are a lot of factors to consider in making the decison to send your child to school or not. We do have good schools here. We live in a red state in a very red city and most of my daughter's teachers have been conservatives. If I thought for a moment that she was being intellectually, emotionally or spiritually damaged there, I would pull her out immediately.
(My daughter's school actually has a Bible study club. They meet one morning a week before school begins. I'm almost afraid to say that here because I'm afraid that some DU lurker will notify the ACLU. So don't tell anyone. :-} )
And of course your four year old is a genius! All children of conservative parents are.
