You're right about the "IF"s. As for homeschooling as a threat, I don't know if it reflects poorly or well on the community, but, it shouldn't be used as a threat based on logic. Don't threaten; do. It's harder and harder for public school parents to hear this -- I know. You do, too. But it needs to be done. Listen up, parents. Grab this (lame) bull by the horns and fix your family. Regarding impressing public school administrators.... phfbtt! Forget it. The bureaucratic sheep are a lost cause, and not AT ALL worth a second thought. Once you've left the system, that is. :-)

Oh I meant "impress school administrators" as in school administrators who would not be moved, motivated or concerned about one Mother's threat to withdraw her children from public school.
