you know Liz when i was married to the mother of my kids, I was let down by the public schools here in NYC many times. My Laura was a little slow grasping concepts particularly with reading and math and Chris was ADD ADHD ( then again i think they qualify everyone for some reason). When i moved to NJ the schools there were more interested in warehousing kids as opposed to educating them. Had i had the resources and the time. as i always had to work long hard hours to make ends meet and my wife at the time was a hole in the head i would hae home schooled them as with the proper attention i feel that they would have done better.
I think if youre that unsatisfied with the programs your school is offereing your kids you should definately look into it but be prepared for the state to breathe down your neck..
they did this with a friend of mine until they capitulated back to the regular school
Good luck with whatever you decide
