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!

I despise our PS. IMO, they have mounted a campaign to separate families from their children, to indoctrinate children in politically correct ideologies.
Our PS hates me, too. Why? I tell them point blank that I am the parent, that I am responsible for my daughter's education, and that the buck regarding my daughter stops with me. They get a googly-eyed look on their faces, like they cannot believe what they are hearing.
I already HS 3 of my kids and I am an inch away from HSing #4 -- I afterschool her already, and the only reason she is in school is that she loves it (although I teach her every educational thing she knows).
