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.

Wow! Mums the word with me!
I do know people that are militant homeschoolers, but I'm just a mom that wants the best for her kids. With MI schools ranking 43rd in the US, and Gifted and Talented classes starting in the third grade, my daughter was drowning. She began to get detentions because she didn't finish her work in class. It was boring, she began to daydream and was gone from there. BUT she got freetime to play! Duh.
We live in a better area for Homeschooling than school. We are right near Selfridge ANG and most of the military families homeschool. Lots of loving God and loving America in our homeschool groups. I'm not sure I would ever go back!
