There was nothing wrong with public schools years ago in California. I spent the best days of my life at Lone Tree Elementary and later at a Junior High in Wheatland.

Today it is a different story in America.

We have always homeschooled our four children--ages 10 to 17. If any one out there needs encouragement, let me say that it is a piece of cake. You will never drive the car of your dreams (I bring the check home; my wife handles the children), but your children will be a heartwarming legacy for you and for your country.

By the way, congratulations on the birth of your son !

I put all 4 of my kids thru private schools in CA. All 4 walked into college with college prep classes behind them. They excelled morally and educationally. I'm very happy I did this, and while it cost me a lot of money, I've ended up with kids who can and have hit the ground running in the job market. Trust me, if your child gets a poor education, you'll be subsidizing them long after high school.

My hat is off to you.
You are a great American.

My son has both daughters in Mountessori schools, but money is tight and we are helping with some of the expenses.

The little one is doing great in Kindergarten, but the older one just about lost any interest in learning because of the public schools approach and mismanagement! We are working hard to get her to believe and have an interest in schooling once again!
