“Laurel parents claim bullying is ‘out of control,’ resort to homeschooling children”
These articles MAKE ME LAUGH as I cannot believe that the parents weren’t warned by friends and relatives about the public schools, but instead chose to grab the ‘free education’.
Like many here, they likely rationalized their decision to use the ‘free education’ due to not being able to afford* homeschooling, but funny how they managed to somehow ‘find’ the money for it, after being left with no choice. So, was it an inheritance that just arrived for them, or perhaps they robbed a bank or stole an ATM? Whatever happened, somehow they can now afford homeschooling.
*afford, in this case, means both a parent staying home and buying the needed educational materials.
I have eight daughters and have raised various of them in three countries.
We’ve been to religious schools, secular private, public, and home school.
The correct solution depends a lot on the kid, the school, the situation.
I sent one kid to public school with racist Hispanic bullies to toughen up a bit. Worked.
