Yea, It is amazing what public schools have become since I was in school. I am not saying that all public schools are bad but it isn't worth the risk. At least not for us.
I don't think we are over protecting our kids, I think they do need interaction with other kids and the home school program offers different types of activities. It is just that the school here is not very well rated at all and the gangs are running the show. Again, not in all of them but the ones that our children would be in are in very bad shape, and they have been for many years.
Our kids say the Pledge of Allegiance and the carriculum in faith based so I think they are better off than having to worry if they will be shot in the lunch room. Not to mention if they have the wrong color shirt on. Public schools are in bad shape all over this country, we just choose to do something about our childrens education.
I very firmly believe:
We only get one chance to raise our Children; If we screw that up, nothing we accomplish in life will have mattered. We have still failed.
