[quote=Anonymous]Done correctly, public schools can be the best option.  However there are a few criteria that we should keep in mind no matter where our children attend school.

Parents need to be involved

Help our children with their homework and keep them on track.  We have to ourselves emphasize a love of learning to our children.  It's work, but it's something we must do.

Some teachers are better than others.  Try to get your children in classes taught by teachers who are fair and demanding.

If you opt to attend public schools use some of the money you save for other types of educational enrichment.  With the money you'll save you could take them once a year on a short trip to London, Rome, or Paris.  Even just few days in one of these great cities is valuable.  See some of the great architecture, monuments, and museums of the world.

In the short term although you've probably been to all of the Smithsonian Museums in town, it might be a good idea to go back because the exhibits change.

Also, within a hundred miles of D.C. there are dozens of Revolutionary War and Civil War battles sites that are highly educational.

What we learn and what we experience can never be lost or taken away from us.
