[quote=KDavid][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can’t tell if this is a serious post or not.  You want to send your kid to public school but don’t like or approve of everything that happens in a public school?[/quote]

OP here. This is a serious post. We can’t homeschool and can’t afford most private schools. So this is what we have.

I realize my views are outside of the norm but also feel that being on screens, testing, being given homework, and being graded this young are all detrimental to the experience of childhood and unnecessary.

If any other parents hold similar views, how have you coped? I think you can opt out of homework? We would stay screen-free at home. [/quote]

Not sure if there is a similar program or network here, but in my old community of Shepherdstown, WV, there was a homeschooling co-op network where kids would essentially rotate between home school households based on parent availability.  I believe you had to make yourself available a certain number of days a month to stay enrolled in the program.  Households with dual working families would just have to use a PTO day or two a month to meet the requirement.[/quote]
