With Turnover High, Schools Fight for Teachers

Put away the broad brush. Education is still mostly a state and local issue despite the Bush/Kennedy disaster. Florida is not New York.

You also have to differentiate between grade school and high school teachers. High school teachers are paid more.

Screw all this, I'll be sending my kids to private school.

You trust LJ more to teach your kids than a teacher?
Well, at least your kids'll have an... ample vocabulary.

The home-schooled students we see are generally better equipped, and tend to excel almost effortlessly. Do you think it's because of the one-on-one, or the fact that parents know better than anyone their own kids' learning styles?

I don't have too many complaints about our local schools, here in Golden *yet* but I have considered homeschooling before. I can't seem to get past the fact that the social environment is very different and has to be somehow supplemented. Jinx, I am sure you have some way of doing this with your kids. I just don't know how I could provide enough of that without being a complete social butterfly, myself. (I am very shy in real life.)
