...you can enjoy all of your little perks...like vacations to Aruba and Cancun...a boat and a deer lease...

I have none of those. I still work "word of mouth" jobs to make ends meet. My wife has a job that pays rather poorly, but works long hours. We are pretty poor with little savings. I can find nothing in my previous postings that would induce you to make that self-righteous assumption.

We sacrificed quite a lot for our kids as well. No school provides everything a child needs, so you can bet we picked up the slack. Not all high schools are ridiculously liberal, especially in pockets of conservative people like where I live. Our kids went to a public school; however, that is no basis for you to assume that we haven't been there with them every step of the way. We have volunteered to help with numerous clubs and to provide a continuous convoy of transportation to extra-curricular events. My kids did, in fact, get schooled at home in many things that are not provided in any school. I taught them how to use wood and metalworking tools, how to use digital logic integrated circuits and associated test equipment. I also taught them how to shoot and survive in the woods.

Home schooled children do good well in college, that has been clearly demonstrated. If you are unable to work with numerous other families, you would be unable to provide well equipped laboratories or shops. You would also be limited in how deep the children could go into esoteric subjects.

I have tried to figure out how to help home-schooling parents with shop and laboratory facilities, as well as special instruction with the subjects I listed elsewhere in this thread. Many of them decline in various impolite ways, or they do not follow up. I've even offered my own shop to their service; but, they seem to assume that I have perverse plans for their children. Of course, they have no response when I tell them I would expect parents to be in attendance. Based upon those experiences and the responses from you and others in this thread, it is no surprise to me that liberals find conservatives to be nasty and totally hard-headed.

The Chamber of Commerce and other civic organizations show no interest in setting up special centers for technological studies. If you can figure out how to fund such facilities, I would surely help present the subject matter.

So you see, I have gone full spectrum to provide my skills, knowledge, and equipment toward the education of kids. I was just plain shocked when the public school took advantage of my offerings while no other entity did.

You can send them to the libtard factory...

Since you have yet to sample ALL of the public schools in the United States, you might be making unqualified assumptions.
