A smart enough kid can get by in pubskewl, but the socialism is to gag a maggot.
A neighbor family is homeschooling, I think. Six kids, I think, and I sympathize with their not wanting to subject them to Houston schools, which are a bunch of reverse-racism academies from what I've heard. If you don't want your kids to grow up racist, better to keep them at home, or go live in the suburbs.
