My first grader came home with a catalog of stuff to sell for the school. I sent the materials back to the teacher. My child is not going to become a door-to-door salesperson on my watch!

More bad news on the public school front, I'm afraid. My 6-year-old is in first grade and my wife just told me last night that some of the first graders have already been talking about boyfriends and girlfriends and trying to involve my daughter. One girl said to a boy in her class, "You just want to have sex with me." I was shocked that first-graders talk like that and I'm this close to yanking my kids out of school. However, to be fair I can't blame the teacher. I just know that if I was the teacher and I heard about that, I'd have the parents in for a chat post haste. To long-time homeschoolers like us, this stuff doesn't go down well at all!
