You cannot be with your child at school, so how do you know just what they are being exposed to?

I ask my child it is called communication.

We have raised a number of very successful children to adulthood, so I think that I just might be a little more qualified on the subject than you are.

Well if your children were social misfits I am sure you wouldn't mention it. Sorry but you are a little biased

Maybe I am biased, but we have one son that owns his own business, another that is a financial analyst for a large auto parts retail company. another that is an officer in the Navy and has won all kinds of rewards. You do not achieve these goals in life if you are misfits.

It is really late or really early in Utah. Maybe you are just sleep deprived and will be more rational tomorrow!!!!!!!!!

Mike, you're probably a nice guy. But you don't know much about children, or the world...

I am a parent of five children. My oldest is a cop, #2 is a PUBLIC school teacher. They were home-schooled for part of their education. They are both married.

The school teacher married an elementary school teacher, and she teaches my granddaughters.

My oldest daughter is now 25. she has a 3 yr old. She attended south Lakes High School in Reston, VA, before we moved to Clarke County (VA). She would come home telling me of the interactions.

There was a racial problem at South Lakes, in the late 90's. My daughter would come home, and tell me of being fondled, and incessantly propositioned (hey baby, I want some of that...), while changing classes. She had large breasts.

That daughter came home one day, and had a black eye. One of the 'sisters' was PO'ed because her "man" was hitting on my girl. They gave the sister a day of in'school suspension.

I took her out of the school. You can send yours there!

As for the rest of your 'social misfit' bravo sierra, I repeat, you are clueless! Your son is exposed to more junk, and more bottom feeders in the public schools.

If you don't feel your child should be home-schooled by you, send him to a GOOD private, preferably Christian-oriented, school. Make sure they have a steady hand, and believe that discipline is an integral part of education! They will LEARN MORE about the other subjects!

Know your subject better, before opening your box to post! Public schools are not social centers. They are social experiments!

I don't know or really care where you went to school, but you should have paid more attention to your English teacher.
