Home schooled our boys till 7th grade. It was a hard dcsion to put them into the public school, because our initial decision to home school was anti public education. But when I looked at private schools and the social issues that some have we felt that this was "the lesser of 2 evils". We have Friends that send their kids to private/Catholic schools and the prevailing theme amoungts these kids is a sense of entitlement. And yes sometime that is fostered by home but the exposure to that easily feeds into those young minds of mush that don't have that sense of entitlement.
Unfortunately educating kids today is a burden. But I am a firm believer that if a child has a bent towards excelling in life it doesn't matter where you send them, they will come out on top.
