Fair enough. I've not seen them outside of homeschool and church groups very often so it could just be the situations they were in. Honestly I've considered home schooling seriously. Even if they truely are socially awkward they can't possibly be any worse than I was in high school and I was public schooled. The reason I think I'll opt for private school instead is because I don't think my wife could handle it due to some health issues and I have to work. Still I've got a couple years before my oldest is ready for school so who knows what will happen in that time. I promise you though my kids won't be in public school. At least not so long as NCLB is in effect and forcing teachers to slow thier lessons down for that kid in every class who doesn't want to learn. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:319479 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
