I am all about pubic school, not only for the learning thing, cause sometimes I wonder how great the education is, and yes my husband is a teacher, he is a fantastic teacher, but not all teachers are fantastic, so that said, public school is great, but it is by no means an "out" for parents, you still have to do your the fellershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00075768853524109066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8536953702676281696.post-617052639706718412010-08-11T15:55:24.128-06:002010-08-11T15:55:24.128-06:00I'm totally skeptical about the "un-schoo...I'm totally skeptical about the "un-schooling" thing.
