Most states require that you send your kids to an approved school. Literacy is not a bad policy. Tends to reduce the chances of kids turning into parasites when they grow up. You may be able to give your kids an education but how broad and in depth do you think it will be. Hows your Dickens, Wolfe, Homer, E. B. White, History (American, European, Social, Political, Cultural, Industrial), Bio , Physics, Math, Chem, Painting, Photography, Art in general, Library, and all the rest of collected human knowledge. Reminds me of the kid I met in Ithaca, NY (Home of radicalfeministlesbianism) who thought Militaryindustrialcomplex was one word. She also thought radicalfeministlesbianism was a full time job (in the family support sense). This is not a flame against womens lib just against run away ideas and thier effect on the innocent. I am not saying infinite education gives a better person just that a certain amount is almost always very good. The question is how much is enough. If you are serious about private education for your kid most local libraries have guides to private secondary schools. You might have to move to a place that has a good school nearby. There are many, I know there were two or three seperate choices where I grew up (admittedly Princeton, NJ is not average but) and I am sure there are more in many parts of the country. I know that when I raise kids good schools will definitly determine where I live. Even though they took me kicking and screaming all the way through 18 years of school I wouldn't have it any other way.
