My solution? HOMESCHOOL ALL THE KIDS!! MAKE IT MANDATORY!! (as if this would ever happen ...)
I wish I could make people aware of how ridiculously cheap and simple it is to homeschool, and how it can totally change your life and how you relate to your kids. Even if people just tried it for a year or two ... way less stressful than a private school.
But, alas, most moms work nowadays, and must, to pay the exhorbitant taxes (for the freaking loser public schools which are ineffective). A lot of parents recoil and also state that they could “never” homeschool as their kids would drive them nuts .... sort of sad.
I was shocked to see how many parents were homeschooling in the N. Va area — I have also met the best group of mothers/parents that I could find ANYWHERE in this town through homeschooling.
Homeschooling plug over.
I personally couldn't have done it....NO, ZIP, NADA patience...
but I admire the ones who do. These kids excel in so many ways.
I would LOVE to see him give them a real deadline and then hire new employees (right-to-work) to take their places and get on with the business of balancing the budget without the hassle. (what a dream!)
