“I’ve had it. I quit. I would rather leave my secure, $70,000 job, with benefits, and tutor in Connecticut for free, than be part of a system that is diametrically opposed to everything education should be.”
This is what’s become of our education system… from the mouth of a teacher. And people still wonder why I homeschool. I have a lot of compassion for all the great teachers who are doing the best they can in such a broken, broken system; and especially for teachers like this man… teachers who are forced to make the decision to say “No. No more.”

Hmm, I hadn’t seen that. He sounds pretty down on homeschooling, and that he feels it is “isolating” children. I’d have to disagree on that one.
But, I do think it is great that there are more alternative schools for those who can’t or don’t choose to homeschool.
