If I have to work 3 jobs, drive my minivan for the next 10 years, and never sleep....my children will never set foot in a public school again. Been homeschooling (i.e. no income from the wife who is a nurse) for several years and the oldest two are making the transition to private school on Tuesday while the younger two remain in homeschool. It ain't easy...but so worth it. Public school just ain't what it was when most of us were children here in Alabama. Sad, but true.
