Well we can't afford to send our kids to expensive private schools and I am sorry that you are mad that I don't do what YOU WANT ME TO DO. I applaud anyone that does it but you see we are all different despite what you may think. God didn't make us out of the same mold. You can think if you want that my way is the easy way out but it isn't because even though I work full time, I take alot of time out of work (I don't get paid for the time gone)so that I help out the teachers and office help when I can.

My whole point getting back to the original discussion was the way to solve the problem was to just yank the kid out. Well that's fine but what about the other kids that are stuck there? Too bad for them? I don't think that way, I believe that if there is a problem in your school that you don't like DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Yanking your kid is fine but there are hundreds of others that could benefit by you trying to get rid of the virus/problem. That was my whole point in the first place. Sorry if I offended you, didn't mean to, just feel that too many people walk away from things they don't like and then this stuff continues because of it.

It is hard what you are doing, and I know that, but you need to understand just like my job for 19yrs at an airline reservation center isn't for everybody, neither is homeschooling. have a great night. I have to be up at 4am.

I'm the first to admit that homeschooling isn't for everyone. Remember.......been there, done/doing that. It's damned hard work and it used to be quite risky. Yes, we risked having all sorts of heat brought down onto our heads, especially when we first started this lo those years ago.

My wife is a trained air traffic controller. It wasn't easy having her stay home to do this and getting by on one salary all these years. Not many seem willing to do that any more. We struggled like all hell; we went through some tough times, but always stuck with homeschooling no matter what.

The only thing that set me off was your contention that homeschooling was taking "the easy way out". You may consider it a poor choice of words, but in my experience, far too many are delusional about the demands of homeschooling, viewing it as some sort of 18th century, "take it easy" approach.
