Generalizations are an ineffective way to deal with any situation. Anyone can find quotes to "prove" an argument.
As for schooling, I think parents are best at evaluating what is best for their child(ren). We did a combination private school/public school. I was very disappointed in much of what public school had to offer. Our children did have some excellent teachers, but they had many mediocre ones.
I respect parents who choose home schooling. It still comes down to each parent choosing the best solution for them.
Exactly. Home schooling fits in best with our lifestyle, but it's not for everyone. Hell, sometimes I've wondered if it's for us, when we're having a particularly difficult day. But the Hubby's schedule changes from month to month, and sometimes he winds up with ridiculous amounts of time off. Not only that, but most of the time, he's three on, four off. It's nice to be able to just pick up and go without worrying about what Da Boy's going to miss in school.
And wow. I seriously spooged all over that post. Tissues will be ineffective. *grabs a towel instead*
