I agree finnian - social skills can be learned in many places
Thanks! I worry about the other things school teaches way more than what the kids might not learn by missing it.
For example one of my middle son's teachers a year ago told him, "It's not right for one person to be more successful than another."
Bwah?! Don't be teaching that garbage to my child, communist! haha
Whaaaaat? Ok that is just plain weird
But I say again , there are sure some problem parents out there that are not following the open minded approach I am trying to teach my kids - the textbook said this and this and there is no room for we can actually figure out a few things for ourselves and questions can maybe have more than one answer
