JeanM Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 As a little bit of background information, my parents are very anti-homeschooling and have tried all means possible to persuade me to send my dc to public (or private) school. Last night, ds (just turned 11 yo) was looking around and saw the Sunday New York Times Magazine that my MIL had left at our house. DS picked it up and started reading the article "Building a Better Teacher." I asked him this morning if he had finished the article and what he thought about it. He said that it did not improve his opinion of the public schools in our country. He then added, "Grandpa may be right that going to public school would improve my social connections, but I don't think it is going to help my intellectual connections." Anyway, I thought it was a funny comment. For anyone who is interested, the article is here: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/07/magazine/07Teachers-t.html?hpw Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
