I went to a private school, k5-senior year, and it may have just saved my life.

When I was little, I saw the public-school kids as "normal" or "cooler". They didn't have to have manners, or have proper & neat school attire. Later, I thought I dodged so many conflicts and bad influences that happen there. Now, I understand the Christian values and way of life, the peace, and the proper education I was blessed to have saved my life from not just the wrong, but straight up evil.

Your children will thank you later. Congratulations!

one of my kids was not doing well, and i think this will give him a new lease on his future. He seems proud today and kind of tenatively excited. I am so scared, but I am so relieved.

Part of it is probably he's excited cause you're excited. Even if you don't have the best option, getting excited about your best option is going to get kids on board with what they have available.

Look up homeschooling sources, and make them available as well. Even private schools are sometimes nutty. I hope you and kids get it done.

I was the same but left private school after 6th grade. I was so excited to be with normal kids. I look back at that as one of the biggest regrets of my life.

I was exposed to so much shit, and this was a public school in a very rich area.
