For my kid, public school was a nightmare. We, too, searched for a house in a particular school district. The mainlearning focus was getting the MAPP test done well.
They had these great assignments: Go ask your parents where you got your name(well, my mom belonged to a gang and my sister's dad lived with her when I was born......Go home and trace your familily tree, just use your adoptive family. What about my brothers who live here & here? My sister?.....Go home and list all your facial features you inhereted from your parents...
Shall I continue? My sons were bored stiff and tired of spending weeks on material they learned the first day. MY child wanted to quit schol at 16 and was beginning to get into trouble. After a year of being homeschooled, he has college plans, many friends, and no desire to cause trouble. He has a part time job and is going on a missions trip this summer. None of my children will be attending public school anytime soon.
