[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former elementary ed teacher here. [b] I HS because I have seen first hand the poor quality of teachers in the public schools.[/b]  There are some gems out there, but overwhelmingly the caliber of educators at the primary level gives me pause.  I'm in farfax city, VA.

There is a huge HS network in the area and resources and support is very accessible.[/quote]

How do you even know YOU were that good?[/quote]

That's not relevant to her situation now. Regardless of whether she was good or not before, she can be good now because she's not a slave to relentless standardized testing, she doesn't have 20+ kids to deal with (unless she's a Duggar), behaviors to manage, parents to appease, etc. 
We don't homeschool, btw.[/quote]

It's absolutely relevant.  As an example, my SIL homeschools (or says that she homeschools) her 6 kids.  She barely got through high school herself and from what I can tell, the kids are in horrible shape.  They picked up on her lack of ambition and interest in education.  A disaster.[/quote]

Why does SIL HS if she is disinterested in education? Why doesn't she send the kids to public school?[/quote]

Because it's full of godless socialists.[/quote]
