To send my child into a school that is rift with drugs(drug dealers), guns, and violence in city schools that are out of control, where student ratio next year will be 1:35+ all in favor of teaching my child about the social ills and how to cope?

Well, if the schools in your area are this bad, you might think of moving. Simply because the schools in a particular area are bad does not mean that all public schools are bad.

The problem is not one of a line in the sand that every has to stand on one side of. Everyone in these arguments stands on their side of the fence and yells at the other. Not all public schools are bad, and not all homeschoolers are bad. It just so happens that the schools where I live are just fine, so we use them. If the ones in your area are that bad, you may want to move anyway because the kids in those schools will be the people that you deal with on a regular basis.

Liberal infiltration is all across the the country. I will grant you that there are a few good government schools, but they are far and few between. As for moving, the area that we live in has a lot of positive aspects and it is better just to home or private school than to run to some other place with the same problems.
