I agree, I think kids need to be getting more attention at home, parents should be more concerned with HELPING educate their children, rather than leave it 100% up to the teacher. It takes some effort on both ends.
What do you all think of homeschooling. I'm torn. I personally feel that if there is a qualified parent in the home teaching, the education value might be better, but the social aspect might not. Bryan really wants to homeschool our children if we have them, which means I would stay home and raise the children and homeschool them, while he is away working--which is fine by me--I'd love that! However, I'm afraid that our children would be socially lacking. Kids need other kids and it would be hard for children to meet other children if they didn't go to school. What's more important--functioning in society with a lack of education, or having a great education and being socially deprived?
