Just wanted to say I have learned a lot from this discussion. I don't think this is a case of "us vs them" as in moms on this board vs another perspective on how to best meet the needs of our kids. I think all ideas should be welcomed here. We all have the best interests of our children at heart.
Cindy, I look forward to reading your book and I hope you have felt welcome here and that you will stick around or pop in to share what you have learned over the years on how to reach our kids in another way. I for one really struggle with thinking outside the box with my two kids. I need all the help I can get as I am not ready, in spite of a LOT of outside pressures, to give up on my kids and turn them over to any school system. Thank you and all of the moms on this board for all you share here so willingly and unselfishly. :001_smile:
