So many could be expanded upon for further posts for sure.<BR/>There is no such thing as a one size fits all anything. This applies to t-shirts and to schools.

I firmly believe in education and that we need to make it work for everyone. If the engaged parents start pulling their kids out of schools when they could be the ones helping in the class, complimenting lessons, wouldn't our schools be terrific?<BR/><BR/>And shame on schools for not taking care of all the students.<BR/><BR/>I also couldn't agree with GF's highlighted quote - I believe homeschooling to be a luxury for middle class. You never hear about poor folks homeschooling. They have to work to put food on the table.<BR/><BR/>Do you still like me?soccer mom in denialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15779961065417497337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-69067883531628232922007-11-01T18:46:00.000-04:002007-11-01T18:46:00.000-04:00jerseygirl89 - several years ago I wouldn't have e...jerseygirl89 - several years ago I wouldn't have even hinted that I had any problems with public schools and right now I still believe they are the best option, BUT, I have learned way more than I would like to and have my doubts about some places.....I guess having kids does that to you or something.Jerri Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00347371743550736148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-60584641155897988402007-11-01T13:44:00.000-04:002007-11-01T13:44:00.000-04:00I liked your post as well as I liked Jerri's - I g...I liked your post as well as I liked Jerri's - I guess I'm very in the middle of this debate.

I've been so out of touch with the American school system for so long-- it's very interesting for me to read your and Anno's posts and see it from you perspective! <BR/><BR/>The US school system is obviously not perfect but I'd trade it for the German one any day!!!Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05451957392894462983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-35160973100035608262007-11-01T10:41:00.000-04:002007-11-01T10:41:00.000-04:00Wow, I didn't think it was all over the place at a...Wow, I didn't think it was all over the place at all...and as a matter of fact, I agree with a great deal of what you say. Even though I wrote on pro public school, the only way I could make it work for me to write was to go against homeschool versus going against private schools, etc. <BR/><BR/>I have an employee whose children go to the best school in our area and when she tells me stuff that goes on, I am flabbergasted (I don't think I spelled that right).<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I thought you are very well spoken in your piece!
