My friend and I had the same thoughts in our discussion. The reason I put restrictions on the curriculum is that in our area it is like pulling teeth to get curriculum questions answered at any schools, other than the really expensive private school.
My friend and I both have younger kids (5 and almost 7) and were just discussing various scenarios that could happen in the area and came up with the same ideas that if it were completely hypothetical then it is easy to see what we would do and the research we'd tried to do and all, but if it is reality, neither of us know how much we'd follow our plans.
I wanted to see if you all agreed with our lines of thought. We are happy to see that we do.
Thanks for thinking along with us. wink
