I don't know who would want their kids "socialized" in your average American middle and high school. The results of that type of socialization are the idiots we see all around us, playing the "knockout game", spending more time on the cell phone or computer than actually interacting with people, smoking pot rather than doing homework and getting a diploma anyway. IMO, based on 2 adult children, 2 school age kids and 20 plus years of police work, public schools are fine for about 30% of the kids. The rest get pushed through and never learn a thing. Any one who thinks the "socialization" public schools produce is good has not spent any time around the results if that socialization.

And since my wife has her Masters in Education I'm pretty sure at least one of us is smart enough to handle it. BTW- my kids are 11 and 12, don't have cell phones, don't get unlimited TV, don't have on line access without supervision, don't argue about chores and if we have our way will not become more failed public school debris.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
