They'd rather have the school raise their kids for them. That way, they're not held responsible for anything, and someone else does all the work. They'd never admit it, though.
We home schooled. Our oldest is on the honor society at college. The next in line hasn't gotten on the list yet, but he's still trying. He's only in his second semester. Both are great kids.
Their old friends from the public schools are dropping like flies (I stopped my kids from hanging around with them when they hit Jr. High). Two girls got knocked up and are now living off the public teat. One boy is serving 1.5 years in prison. Another just sits and home and does nothing. He'll never go anywhere. These kids were fine when they were little, but as they grew older, they had no parents around to guide them. The school did it instead. Hillary's village did a terrible disservice on these kids.
When I see these parents in store, and they ask how my kids are doing - I tell them! I flaunt it. They thought I was off my rocker for not letting them attend a public school. NOW they get it, but it's too late for their kids.
My husbands boss was going to put his kids in the local public school rather than home school. My husband pointed to the welfare housing unit across the street from his office, and mentioned to his boss that those kids are going to be his kids classmates! The boss had never thought about that. My husbands boss put his kids in a private Christian school instead. Smart move.
Wow, excellent story. Keep up the great work!!
