I have terrific respect, with a few reservations, for those who wish to homeschool. I don't want to. Call me selfish or what you will, but my kids go to an outstanding school (one of the teachers was nominated Oklahoma Teacher of the Year this last month.)

They both have perfect attendance and are straight A students. They participate in the Science Fair (Blue ribbons every time) with projects that THEY thought up and we helped them with. They are happy, popular kids who get to be around people of many different backgrounds. Additionally, we get to debunk the junk they hear at times.

They have gone to Private schools (Montessori) in the past and I will take PS anytime.

Everyone needs to do what is right for their kids. PS is fine for mine.

Ain't that the truth!!!!!

Like your kids, mine is in an outstanding school as well..........the district we moved to was the major reason we chose to move to this part of Virginia from Delaware.

Everyone is not the same, except in that they make their decisions based upon what they believe is in the best interest of their own children. (alright, not everyone does that, but you know what I mean)

No village is needed - just parents who are paying attention.

I homeschooled my kids for a while. With 4 of them ranging in ages infant to 10 I became burnt out quickly and so did they. Getting started in the morning became a war. My kids go to great public schools. They are not full of the PC BS that you hear of in most schools. Teachers here are actually patriotic, they actually teach and they encourage faith in God. I am very involved in my kids' education and that makes a big difference. I am a constant fixture at either of the schools either volunteering or working or something.

The one down side I complain about is their exposure to certain behaviors of other kids whose parents are more lenient than myself.
