Good Morning Yuyutsu.

Thank you for your advice.

I certainly am involved in my grand-children's lives
and have been since their birth. However the choice of
what high school they'll be going to will ultimately
be up to their parents. They won't be home-schooled
for a variety of reasons - one being - both parents
work.

Hi Paul,

My children started their education in private
Catholic schools. We later made a switch to an
excellent public school - due to the scandals
the private school became involved in. We did
not regret that decision. Our children were
high achievers -finished university and went
on to great careers.
We're very proud of them both.

So as you said - there's good things about
both systems. Ultimately the choice is up to the
parents. However they are asking for our input -
and I'd like to be able to get a few opinions
to try to see things from a variety of perspectives.
Also to try to keep up to date by hearing
other view points - hopefully is to be better informed.

ttbn,

I have been on this forum for decades.
I have seen many come and go. We have
shared quite a great deal with each other -
and we have turned to each other in times
of need. I look upon many on this forum
as friends. At least that's the way I
see things. To me they are people - human
being behind those computer screens and
I try not to forget that when posting.

That's the difference between us.

No. The difference is, you can't distinguish between real life and the internet. I can.

Hi Foxy,

Some of us on here are Megadelights, others are terrafrights!

ttbn,

The sad thing is that you don't seem to realise
that you are talking to real people and not
machines on the internet.
