Perhaps not enough hours to praise EVERY alternative life choice. But, the minute the public education establishment is reminded one has been left out - accommodation will be made - probably at the expense of something trivial like western civilization or math. And you, my dear, are supposing you know everything about education. One of the not-so-many benefits of the California teacher credentialing system. I believe you and I spent roughly the same number of years "in" school and I surpass you in the number of years with children in school. This qualifies me to know a lot more than nothing about education. Additionally, my son is a teacher/asst principal in a private school in LA, my son-in-law is a teacher in a public school in NYC, my best friend is a teacher in an American overseas school, most of my close friends in the past 20 years have been educators and my neighbors on either side are respectively a public school principal and county superintendent of schools. If you wish to brush me off by by suggesting I know nothing about education, you merely confirm the suspicion of many that teachers really don't want to hear what parents want from the public schools. You and your colleagues, it seems, think you know it all.
