Yes, it is a public school

In Second grade our son had a horrible teacher that spent the day screaming and yelling at the class. This did not come to kight until the end of the year and when confronted was denied.
The damage that teacher did was almost un-reversable. If my son did not understand something he was tore apart be her. Remember he was 6 YEARS OLD. There was no excuse for her behavior.
He had very good 3-4 teachers and it looked like he was on his way again to doing very well in school. Then in 5th grade he had 2 teachers. One used to live across the street and was awesome. The other needed to head out to pasture. She had no idea what it is to be a kid and no patience with the class.
His terrible Math teacher last year actually quit. I was told my the guidence couselor that she had to quit in order for the school to loose her. Otherwise they had to honor her contract. That is a load of BS if you ask me.
When asked how many kids failed her class I could never get an answer. But after I had my son take a poll at the summer school class he was in it seemed liek 50% of her students failed.
He got a B in summer school BTW.
My wife wants to home school and I am dead against it. Although some good friend I respect a lot did it and their kids have done very well. Their son, who is 16 is almost done with HS and looking at collage classes. He is a well adjusted kid, a motorhead, like his dad, and fun to talk to. You would never know he was home schooled.
The thing that bothered me when searching home schooling is all the christian crap that is mentioned. It seems all the Jesus freaks are home schoolers. My friends BTW are not.
This is really bothering me right now. We just had a sit down with our son. He is game for Home Schooling but I am still on the fence.
