[quote=redforever;1070412]Just as long as you remember that helping Johnny or Jane with decision making skills is a parent's responsibility as much as a school, no matter what type of school you choose. Schools are not baby sitting facilities where you drop your kid off in the morning at kindergarten age and magically 12 or 13 years later, you pick them up ready to take on life.

What!!!!

I was hoping to drop them off and pick up a well adjusted, mature young adult.

Seriously though our concern for doing all we can to mold the little fella's into decent human beings is what brings us to consider an alternative to the regular school stream. Being a part of the educational process is something that we feel we can do as parents to help them along.
We are both working and the reality of that is the school system will have more time per day influncing them than we will.

Excellent suggestion on making up a list of pros and cons. We will.

Thanks
