My boys have been to a public school system and I can tell you now I will never do it again. They are now going to a private school and they have learned more there then anywhere else. Although I am paying out of my pocket for it, it is also well worth it. I can not believe have much bureacracy goes on in a public school. My kids were being punished more than they were learning. What ever happened with the old days when a principal could spank a child and send him back to class. I must have gotten a hundred calls the year my boys were at the public school. Everybody assumes its the parents fault. Did they every concider that it could have been the other kids making yours look bad. Its time we start teaching our kid instead of punishing them all the time.
