I can appreciate that. My DC is in a traditional school and I always think.... we could be so much further ahead if we just HS'ed. It's amazing how much actual learning happens throughout the school day (between all the other things they do.) HOWEVER, if it wasn't for those other things, school would not be tolerable. We are happy right now with our current placement, but there isn't a day that goes by that I don't keep other sources in my mind for future reference.
