We homeschooled 3 for 13 years (I've been "retired" for 9. Public school was never an option, even then, because the only thing new here is that they don't even care to hide it anymore. YES, we've known dedicated teachers. YES, I went to public school and "turned out fine." YES, we paid property taxes for schools that wouldn't even let my kids use their library. And it was all worth it because I have 3 educated, responsible, hard-working, entrepreneurial adults who can think, read with comprehension, write extremely well, pay for their own lives, don't have student loan debt, own their cars outright, and have traveled enough of the world to understand how things are and what's really important. There is NO WAY I would entrust my child to a public school in any state these days.
