[Dyslexic Mom]

I tell every parent of a young child I meet -HOME SCHOOL! I truly feel that is the biggest mistake I made that I would cut off an arm to correct. Twenty years ago I didn't trust my own abilities and did not yet have my very well earned loathing and hatred of 'school', its administrators and 'zero tolerance policies' that never are enforced unless it's to protect a 'protected child' -and I do know of what I speak. In Southern Indiana I've clashed with 3 different school systems and found all lacking. The first -when our daughter was in the second grade wasn't too bad, but the other two were horrific.

Keep your children well socialized and in extracurricular activities such as music or (might I suggest) JUDO (for self-defence and discipline) for example, but keep them away from the shark packs that swim among the student, teacher and administrators that laughably try to disguise themselves as a 'school'.

Where around in central IN. I've got a 5 year old daughter who will be going to kindergarten next year. Love to homeschool but am now a single dad so I've either got to work and public/private school or homeschool and starve.

Could you tell me what school systems? We might move back that way in the next few years (my in-laws live in the south central part of the state, about 30 miles from Louisville)
