Excellent points and thank you for your kind words. But some advice about some of the anti-public school folks here.
**PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS GENERAL AND NOT POINTED TOWARDS ANY SPECIFIC POSTER IN THIS THREAD**
I long ago stopped responding because all responding does is ‘feed the trolls.’ It is no longer possible to have an intellegent discussion on FR about public schools because the anti-public school crowd pounces on every thread with near identical rants. This is somewhat sad as I think that many of us here could be a great support for each other, but we aren’t given that chance.
This is JimRob’s site and apparently this is how he wants it. Cool. But I’ve stopped sending money to FR as I feel my opinions and very presence are unwanted. I lurk from time to time and post from time to time, but my interest has dropped to probably 5% of what it was even an year ago. In fact, I notice that all posting about public schools is a fraction of what it was. And that is because the anti-public school crowd shuts down any meaningful discussion. Money is tight and I can no longer justify my $50 a month donation. Maybe the anti-public school crowd will make up the difference.
So, carry on, and now there are more of us out here in the trenches that is obvious from the posts at FR. I wish we had a forum on a conservative site, this one be nice, but it isn’t to be.

that should read “This one WOULD be nice...”
