Quote:My job as a parent is not for you to decide. You also make another assumption on what home schooling is about. Carbon copies? No, its about guiding your child in the way you see fit. You dont have to let the state tell you how and what to think.

 

But there is still a specified curriculum that must be followed.  Home schooling isn't for everyone, but it is a viable alternative, especially in a county where you have 22 failing schools, and if you talk to any teacher in DCPS especially at the elementary or middle school level, you'll find out just how bad things really are. 

 

My child has attended private school from Pre-K3 into high school. My wife and I made the decision based on the direction we saw the public school system headed.  I'm paying enough to get her a great college education, which will follow soon enough.  I see every penny I invest in her education as money well spent.  I don't regret for a moment the fact that my child will never attend a public school.
