In our family two of my sisters and I homeschool. The fourth sister was convinced she lived in a very conservative school district and opted not to homeschool.

Now that her child is a little older (5th grade) she is CONSTANTLY having to monitor what is being said and done in the classroom.

She had to opt her daughter out of a session that was to be held today on sexuality.

The note the school sent home explaining what was going to be taught was downright degrading to the parents. It insinuated that the parents wouldn't know how to talk to their children about these issues, etc.

She's beginning to realize that she's spending so much time staying on top of the issues and volunteering at the school so she can monitor what's going on, that she might as well homeschool.

Finally, she sees the light, LOL!!!

I know what you mean about these parents who have to constantly watch over what goes on in the public school. It's a big job. I hesitate to say that it's more work than homeschooling but it is time consuming without the real benefits of home learning.
