Every child is different, and many children are definitely outside the norm. My daughter will have the opportunity to discover the world through her own eyes, along with those who love her and truly want the best for her. We have chosen to keep her at home and out of public school. I believe that if more parents truly thought about what environment would best suit their children, there would be more talk about different options. In most families, alternatives are usually not considered.
Public school is just part of life, and children are sent there because that's just what kids do.
This huge system can't possibly offer the best opportunity for each individual child. Parents are in charge of their children, and they must stand up and make their voices heard if they want anything to change. As a former public school teacher, I can sadly testify to the fact that too often the system does put its own needs above those of the kids. Just saw your TV advertisement and surfed your web site. So glad someone has a clear vision for improving education and the means to share it on a national scale.
