Ark, let's get one thing straight here, my child is not a "special needs" kid.  I don't know where the hell you got that from, but that's not even close to the situation.  Even if she was I'd still love her to pieces.  But your argument for chicken pox is ridiculous man.  You must have not bothered to read the section where I said she'd been in a daycare situation while  Mom and I work, as well as playing on public playgrounds.  She has been around enough children all her little life to be exposed to several illnesses...and in case you didn't know it, they've actually developed a vaccine for chicken pox, which she's already had given to her by the doctor. 

edit: Also, again to all those who can simply raise a glass and toast my success, we thank you!  :D

Well I used the chicken pox thing as an example, probably not the best one, but its related to how a child mixes with other children and develops an immunity when the next kid introduces a cold/flu etc.  My Special Child comment is exactly what I ment it to be, because if the child is home schooled within a close circle that child is what she will end up to be - special, different, closed off.

My niece is like that, home schooled, controlled by her mother.  The kid is a wreck, with severe emotional problems that years of therapy will only fix.  She cannot keep a job, inward and sad.  She is 20 now.

Shmokes said it all really.  Good in principal, disasterous in practice.  Your own selfishness in keeping her at home to teach her "your way" will be a rod on your back for years to come.  All because of other children who are not taught proper manners and abused you in your profession.

I went to school in the UK when corporal punishment was the order of the day, and all teachers and headmasters were god.  Thrashings with canes was in practice daily, and we learned how to behave.  Today's liberal teaching system is to blame, but I'm sure your child is not disruptive or fits in any category like that.

Place her in class with other kids and monitor the situation.  The private schooling system could not be as different to my schooling days.  We were smarter....well we had to be or else.. :o

Good luck in your new job.  I'm sure you will leave an impression on your students.  My grandmother was a teacher, and she always said it was a wonderful profession, and also a joy to instruct the young minds of tomorrow.

I would agree theres a good chance that could happen if a child was homeschooled all the way through highschool, but his kid is in preschool.  My uncle did the same exact thing that RTSDaddy is doing and homeschooled his kids until the 4th or 5th grade, at which point he let the kids decide if they wanted to go to a public school instead, and they both did.  Both of his kids turned out to be some of the nicest, well adjusted people I know.

RayB:
I totally understand RTS's argument against teaching at public schools. It's that damn "no child left behind" crap. I know a couple former school teachers who gave up the profession entirely because the "system" is just stacked against them. The kid who doesn't want to learn and should have to repeat the year over now sucks up all the teacher's attention because he/she "has to pass". The rest of the class loses out.

Sorry Jeffo, which bit of your quote in my post are you referring to?
