[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a public school teacher, I have certainly thought about it. The behavior issues in a lot of schools are out of control.[/quote]

I know MANY teachers who will not send their kids to public schools. My youngest DD is in Pre-K with a kid whose mom is a public Kindergarten teacher, and she won't send him to public K. All of us moms were shocked to hear her, but she's been working for like 15 years in multiple schools.

The homeschool kids I know are not all conservative, many are super liberal/hippy. The two groups dress similarly and actually have a lot in common. Neither wants the government involved in their kids' education.

-too much laptop usage
-crazy discipline issues in schools
-not enough attention spent on regular students. My best friend was in a Title 1 school and her regular child was just straight up ignored. They'd put her on her chromebook while they worked intensely with other kids. She was getting very little teaching or attention. I have felt similarly about my own kids. [/quote]
I'm PP and almost all of my colleagues send their children to private school or lottery in to our option programs (myself included) [/quote]

I’m another teacher and I send my children to a private school. We also have many homeschoolers in our neighborhood. They didn’t make the choice for religious reasons. It’s primarily dissatisfaction with schools (lack of discipline, over-reliance on technology). Frankly, I agree with them. I would also choose to homeschool if I had the ability.
