Keith (dh) came in here and asked if we were doing homeschooling. I said, "Yeah... I just read this to the kids..."

Top ten reasons to send your kids to government school - a bit of homeschool humor.

My daughter, age 14, is wanting to go back to the local government school now as it has a monopoly on almost all teen events in this town and they're excluding her. Of course I don't want her to go.

The last straw for her was being excluded from next summer's Upward Bound program because she's not enrolled in a government high school. Needless to say, we're feeling a bit discriminated against. We're taxpayers too. My family has worked and paid taxes in this country for many years. But my daughter is excluded from Upward Bound, a government funded program?

Dear me, here I go again, fighting for our rights. I have such a hard time staying silent in the face of injustice. I really don't like the idea of my child going to a live-in program for six weeks, but its important to her because her best friend did it last summer and is planning to do it again this summer, and because the kids are being put to work and paid about six hundred dollars each for the summer's work. She sees this as a good opportunity.
