Pot calling kettle

Home schooling is the way to go.

we home schooled for several years.
another thing to consider that is now available is online most districts have it and pay for it , you guide them at home they turn in work on the computer.
they still get a diploma that says that school district , they can still participate in band and sports.
different states have different home schooling laws , WI is very simple some are less simple and require you bringing the student in for testing in person or require you to provide written lesson plans.

most states have a homeschooling association , they are an excellent resource for what you must do and how to navigate the system.

as an example the Wisconsin Homeschooling Parents Association WHPA worked hard so that you only had to fill out specific lines and by a set deadline on the form.
the state has many times more lines and lots more requested info , but we followed the minimum reporting as a rule.
the WHPA is an interesting blend from hard core religions to the most just leave me alone to do my own thing hippies I don't need government telling us what to do or how to teach propaganda to our kids.
people who would have had almost no other common ground formed the association and kept it open and available for all to home school

there was a Christian home schooling association also that had to be told to shut up and take the wins the WHPA had gotten , they were a lot of out of state leadership pushing at things blanket across states , that WI didn't need because we had already won the right to file a single form then educate as we as parents saw fit.

check out your state association , find out about the laws in your state. and decide from there.
my kids went back to publics for high school and I won't say they didn't get bullied , they did but they had better tools to deal with it.

we hadn't pulled the kids out to just avoid bullying it was a number of reasons.

Go to HSLDA and check out their website. One of the requirements of our church group was to be a member. They offer legal help if you have any problems with your district or state.

Facts speak .
Homeschoolers do very well at the National Scripps spelling bee and other competitions.

This has been a major embarrassment for years to the NEA.

Highschool was some of the best years of my life, I'd never deprive my kid of that experience. To each their own.

There are some good Christian schools in this area that produce students who consistently test higher than their public school counterparts.

These schools have smaller class rooms, so more one on one instruction with the teachers, with a stricter code of conduct.

Social interraction is part of learning, and private school students get less of that, but with the woke curriculum taught these days it's still a better situation overall, IMO.

The quality of public schools varies from state to state and place to place. I'm happy with our school district - have had no qualms about sending my kids there.
And its pretty easy to monitor what goes on. Get to know the teachers, principal and school board. Attend some meetings. Listen to your kids.

Who called the cops and why? What age is he? Keep him home long enough to learn to defend himself. Then turn him loose. I know times have changed but what message will you be sending him? When life gets tough you run away from the problem ? Don't know all the details . But do what you need to.

Amen . . . 100%

They called the cops.... He is fully able to defend himself better than most ... Just didnt expect a person to hit him in the face with a basketball.... He didnt whine about any of it. Matter of fact school called me

Sounds like you need to find another school even if it is at home. NOT because of the basketball incident but because administration can't handle a scuffle on a ball court? They have to call the cops?

Our kids went to a Christian school and now our Grand kids go to the same school. You need to find a GOOD Christian school. Otherwise Home School but NEVER Public schools. Especially now that Demented Joe has turned the illegalkids into the Public schools. These Illegals have never been vaccinated and now Diseases that we used to have under control are back with a vengeance and spreading through the Public schools.

Public schools today in areas with lots of people are generally cesspools because of the culture shift today.
Public schools in smaller towns are generally still good around here anyway.
Back in my day we learned to fight in public school at recess,and after school playing hockey.

A police cruiser would have been a second home if the school called the cops every time I got in a fight at school. I was a scrapper back then and you earn a reputation like a gunfighter. Everyone wants to try you. Most people who know me now can't picture me that way. I wasn't always the lover I'm known to be today.

I had similar experience. Was on the playground with 6 kids in a circle around me pushing and tripping me mostly from behing as I turned around the teacher just watching and smirking. My girlfriend was also watching. Well I got enough and dropped one with a right to his nose and mouth busting both turned and tripped the next one as he came in and a third got a hip toss hiring the ground as he came at me. I was taken to the office nothing for the other's. Well after mom got there heard the situation I didn't get in any trouble and that teacher would have lost her job had mom pushed it any harder.

and for some of us school was 12 years of prison sentence for having done nothing wrong and if we didn't kill anyone before we got out we got to be free.

Been there done that.

Mine too, only i sent many to the e. r. So i try to teach him otherwise

My wife homeschools the kids. It's a lot of work but worth it. There are plenty of homeschooling groups around for the kids to get interaction with and it won't be with kids you would rather not have them around. We have a 4H club that's nothin but homeschool kids, there are a few homeschool co ops in the area where different parents teach different things every parent being involved some how. Often it's not for math science or English ECT but not for things like art, archery and extra circular activities
