nah they will go to public schools. We cover a lot of education at the house of course but I think the main thing about school is the social experience which is hard if not impossible to get when home schooled. I knew too many home school kids growing up who just didn't understand how to interact with other people.
totally understand, socialization is important. i am biased from my experience because of my introversion, so i came out of public schools not only not knowing how to interact, but scarred from being bullied. hopefully schools have advanced since then.
my other gripe with public schools is what they teach. they tend to ignore (imho) critical thinking, practical knowledge, and real world skills, which i think is a mistake. yet are still teaching college prep (repetitive years of now useless math, slanted american history, mind numbing science) when it would be better to teach applied technical or trade skills.
the boys are lucky to have a dad like you :)
