@ Mr. Lebowski,

Church or other private schools are an option, but the frustrating part is paying for the public schools via property taxes AND THEN paying private school tuition on top of that. I have a feeling we're headed in the same direction with regard to health care... Pay for the public system and then pay again if you want truly QUALITY care.

I went to Catholic school through 6th grade--because that's all that was offered in Loveland at the time. I could have slept through at least 7th and 8th grade when I transferred to the public school system.

I don't have kids of my own, but I'm very involved with my brother's children. I'm frequently disgusted by the nonsense the girls hear from their teachers. In fact the only concern I have for my brother's oldest child is that she's going to get herself in trouble for her [conservative] political viewpoint. Her IQ is in the stratosphere and she expresses her opinions in a logical fashion with clarity that most adults could only dream of. Teachers have broached the subject with my brother at parent teacher conferences and have quickly learned that the apple, in fact, doesn't fall far from the tree!

If I had children of my own, I'd do whatever it took to send my children to a private school where a more traditional (old-fashioned) course of study is emphasized.
