 And whenever I'm asked the question, what do you think? Should I send my kid to the local public school? I always say if you have a Catholic school nearby, definitely send them to the Catholic school first. And if you don't, then homeschooling is a better option. If you ask me, no offense intended, by the way, to teachers and counselors and administrators who are trying to do the right thing in the public schools, I salute you.
