Thank you for speaking up in favor of your public school.

Our four children have gone through public school (3 have graduated), and their experience has been NOTHING like the ones that apparently are widespread around the country.

They have graduated, prepared for college in writing skills, history, literature, science and math. Their teachers, even if liberal, have been respectful of their conservative point of view, though most of the teachers are conservatives as well, and many Christian. In addition, they have grown strong by defending their faith among non-believing fellow students.

By contrast, the local Christian school limited in course options, and much easier than our kids' school.

While in general the presumption that public schools are bad may be true, it is definitely NOT universal......

I actually pulled my kids out of public school when we were in Texas - not a condemnation of all Texas schools - in fact, a friend moved from our hometown to north of Houston and feared her daughter might have to be held BACK! lol

I am amazed that schools can be so different in various areas - I wouldn't allow my kids to go near a public school in Philadelphia - but my daughter's choir sang gospel songs in her public school choir! I realize some claim that can NEVER happen, but I've got it on video.....lol - in fact, more than half of their spring concert was either overtly religious songs or patriotic ones........ it was a beautiful concert.

Thanks for your comments as well -
