The smart money says that my kids will graduate from a school system that is, at best, completely unchanged from the one they started in, and more likely, much worse, no matter what I say or do in the meantime. But I certainly don't intend to go quietly along with it.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07559356125770114400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285353362748898720.post-53420342279030816202011-10-01T23:04:56.894-05:002011-10-01T23:04:56.894-05:00Karen -- Yeah, I've heard that kind of argumen...Karen -- Yeah, I've heard that kind of argument. Of course, I don't agree -- I don't think you do the public schools and favor by sticking around no matter what they dish up. If they want people not to homeschool, let them offer something that's more consistent with what people want for their kids.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07559356125770114400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285353362748898720.post-28320813755509496462011-10-01T21:53:04.260-05:002011-10-01T21:53:04.260-05:00To me, the least convincing argument is that you s...To me, the least convincing argument is that you stay involved with public school in the hopes of changing it for the better. The sad truth is that your impact on the public schools is likely to be very very small, in spite of all your passionate advocacy. I wish it wasn't so!FedUpMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00951858601020687242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285353362748898720.post-12684494748168081872011-10-01T11:17:36.769-05:002011-10-01T11:17:36.769-05:00You can't win.

If you did pull your kids out to homeschool, others would complain that you (as an involved parent) are cheating the public schools by fleeing instead of staying and trying to make them better for everyone.Karen Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13075997477474697121noreply@blogger.com
