Oh, and Radar.... didn't see that.... Gotta say, having been to public school, private school, and having been homeschooled all between 1st-12th grade--Private school is the way to go. My sister and I only managed to make it through homeschooling because we were relatively intelligent to begin. Homeschooling did nothing for us, and since I've been through it, my humble opinion is that only parents who have an incredibly high regard for themselves should homeschool their children. If they're both teachers, then fine.... but otherwise, I know that
I, at least, as a college graduate lack enough knowledge of science or mathetmatics to properly educate an 8th-grader.
I never thought much of my private schooling either until I got to college. There, I noticed that many of my publicly-schooled counterparts struggled with the workload. It wasn't that kids who had gone to private school were any smarter--we weren't--it's just that we were USED to having a 5-page paper due once a week.
Sorry to offend anyone... guess I'm just kind of in a no-nonsense mood tonight.
