Wow- so much great discussion! I have a few thoughts to share as well. First of all, ACS, if you think you said something offensive, please point it out, as I cannot find it! You are too sweet to be concerned that voicing your opinion will earn you any animosity. My family was supporting public schools up until we found they just wouldn't work with us. I still vote in favor of our public schools when local matters come up, and I am upset when I hear of budget cuts.
Cathy, I read about your school in Blue Balliett's books, right? I'm so touched by your story and I am glad that you found a place where you felt comfortable.
Bianca, I am happy to hear that you were not sleeping at the wheel! I have heard mixed reviews of Mirman, and I suppose it only goes to show that it all depends upon the individual.
