Yeah because raising your voice in public places often gets you what you want and doesn't make you look like a complete jackass.

Don't worry, we'll repay the favor once your children are set free on society.

Good to know!

Who said I was going to do it in public? A discreet meeting in the principal's office between myself, him and the teacher in question would be far preferred to some public confrontation.

I don't find it necessary in any situation to raise your voice short of them simply not being able to hear you. I think anything beyond that really simple minded. You can get an angry point across without screaming obscenities and frothing at the mouth like a lunatic.

I'm probably wrong but I thought that you can qualify for the same funding that the public schools get per child.

You should be able to write off pretty much all of your expenses including your computers, pencils, paper, textbooks, art supplies, etc. In MN I know this is the case.

Not really....we never manage to get a better deal by itemizing. :)

I knew a kid that was homeschooled for the longest time and when he got into highschool, he never adapted right and ended up getting his ass beat up all the time. Poor little fucker.
I could'n't do that. I wouldn't be able to get anything done.
