To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

Private schools have the same problems as public schools. Over crowding (although in their case it is chosen), single learning style, over stimulated classrooms, rushed academics, peer pressure, inflexible curriculum, etc. IMO private schools are worse than public. Not to mention I would have to go back to work and get a full time job to pay for it. Then they would be in after school care until I got home from work and I would see them 2 hours a day. I did not have children to have someone else raise them! There is also the issue of private schools being religious, at least all in my area. Except Montessori, but at 20,000 a year the price is ridiculous.
