There are no private acadamies where I live. There is a Catholic school with a ten-year waiting list, lol. And there are a couple of small (and expensive) private church-backed schools that barely meet accreditations.

Our public schools though are not that bad, I think because there are so few private options to drain the 'good' kids away. I never really worried about my own children but did stay on top of them nevertheless. The stories they brought home about the behaviors of other kids, though, was unsettling at times and made me sad.

I've known quite a few people in recent years who home schooled and with great results, IMO.

I would think that your friends who are paying through the nose AND paying prop taxes to support the public schools must really get chapped about it.

As for beating unruly kids, I say just throw them out at some point instead of allowing them to terrorize their teachers grade after grade.
