We are in a district with very good public schools, so I can't complain. The education for my special needs child is exceptional. My other daughter often says she's bored, and I think that schools don't encourage enough independent learning, but on the whole I like our schools so far. My husband offered to home school the oldest, but she isn't interested at the moment, because there's a brand new school being built, and - joy of joys for her - it has two floors!Bad Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540577363786819292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27391906.post-59809228680175304002009-06-03T04:50:16.947-07:002009-06-03T04:50:16.947-07:00I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

I know I've made my children the most important things in the world at times, and that is most certainly idolatry.<br /><br />I just noticed that Al Mohler posted an article on home schooling today. I would add the link, but it might land my comment in the spam filter, so I won't; it's easy enough to find.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27391906.post-63889387112933248062009-06-03T04:50:04.636-07:002009-06-03T04:50:04.636-07:00Seth - I missed the mega-brouhaha that you started...Seth - I missed the mega-brouhaha that you started yesterday, but for what it's worth, I send my son to public school and besides the guns and condoms they hand out at the door every morning, we love it! Seriously, we do love it, even though it seems to go against the Young Reformed Playbook. Though many (read: nearly all) of our best friends are homeschooling, and it's working great for them. <br /><br />Ted<br />ps - Kudos to you for wading into the hornet's nest of raw feelings that is this topic.
