Ahhhem. 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.
