===============================
In principle I'm not knocking home-schooling. Some local schools are in such 
educational disarray that if parents can afford to do it, their kids will be 
better educated. But there is also a lack among such children of what the 
_real_ world of children in general is like.  Perhaps a combination of the 
two--public and private-- might be experientially worthwhile.
