I agree Dealie! That's why I am putting my two in private school. Here in Georgia, we have perhaps the worst public school system in the country. (Actually it scores 2nd worst, but I think we're losing ground.) When I was going around visiting different private elementary schools at open houses, I was stuck by a question someone asked: "What do you do about the habitually disruptive children?" The teachers didn't know what to say. They acted like they didn't understand the question. The mother pressed on: "You know, the kid who throws spitballs, talks during class, and disrupts class." Finally, one of the teachers replied: "We don't have children like that here." By the way, my first grader made her first 100 on a spelling test today! We've been doing a little extra homework every night, and it paid off! (Don't worry... I'm not the guy who beat his kid for not winning the national spelling bee!) She called me on Mom's cell phone to tell me! She's excited! Adairm
