 From Rebecca B. Lopez on July 24, 2008 at 9:52 pm.  
We tried the public school. My daughter went to the local school for kindergarten, she had five teachers in one year. My daughter's education was not in the public school's interest. What was in their interest was test scores, budgets,and a one size fits all approach to everything.
Parental involvement, opinions, desires to participate in our children's educational experience was not encouraged in public school.
Private schools were beyond our reach and I wasn't sure I wanted my kids navigating the social pressures that I experienced in Private school environment.
My daughter is getting ready for her second year home schooled, she is happy, well adjusted and embraces life in a way I wish all children could. Our son is going to start kindergarten, home schooled. I am terrified, excited, and hopeful that this will be a great year for both of them.
