I would extend your experience with reading to morals, conservatism, religion.
If you only have a rushed morning shoving your munchkin out the door for school, and then are rushing around after school to extracurricular activies, putting dinner on the table, and dealing with the 4 hours of homework that should never have been sent home in the first place (why can't it get done in the 8 hours you have my kid), you are limited in reinforcing your values in your child.
But, the almighty educators at that school get how many hours a day to influence your child, "mold their minds." On top of that, if your child is sitting in a class room of 30 kids, and stands up for his/her belief in opposition to the other 29 kids... Wow.
Dear ican'tbelieveit,
"I would extend your experience with reading to morals, conservatism, religion."
Oh! How I agree with you!
That will be an important topic for discussion in deciding whether or not the guys go to high school or stay homeschooled through high school.
