In Pensacola the surveillance is at the beach. Here in the country it s at the creek. One of her concerns, however, is that besides an isolated creek bank, the teens don t have any other place to socialize. Thanks to everyone who responded to our national Streetmail poll on home-schooling. Life is not hunkering down in your home.
Life is risk taking, and life is learning to socialize with other people.
I agree that something is very wrong with our public schools, but I don't believe that home-schooling is the answer. I am now going to be a senior at a private, academically challenging college, and have had absolutely no problem adjusting. I am involved in many campus activities, including a sorority, and I have many friends. I have also taught in the public schools in years past. To my surprise, the majority of our readers here in Escambia think home schooling is a good idea.
