[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]

I don't know if I was "that good". However, I do know that I'm a better educator to my 2 children than I was when I had a classroom of 26 kids.  I also have the opportunity to dedicate 100% of my school time to my kids  and not the peripherals that the PP mentions. There are enough blatantly incompetent teachers out there that keep me from sending my kids to public schools.  If we had the money to send our kids to the best private school money could buy, then I would not HS.

BTW, we are not religious...unless attending church on Easter and Christmas counts.  I know quite a few HS parents who are pretty progressive/liberal; however they are truly open minded people and do not berate and degrade religious families like many posters who frequent this board.
