I heard about that. I have some good friends in Douglas. If we are seeing this kind of crazy in Wyoming, can you imagine how bad things are in places like California, New York, and Massachusetts?
Homeschooling my kids was the best decision I ever made. I'll admit, my oldest was in government schools through 2nd grade (It was handy having someone else teach basic handwriting and reading and the indoctrination wasn't as bad at that level, especially at the school he attended) (We have school choice in Natrona County). My youngest, who has Down Syndrome, was in government schools through 8th grade, but he only had 3 teachers. Two were a husband and wife that we have known for years and the 3rd was someone they highly recommended. The moment my son couldn't be with them, I pulled him out and homeschooled him at home. He is actually progressing faster at home than under the schooling of specialists in special needs kids. (The couple that were his teachers had multiple down syndrome and autistic children, most of which were adopted so they were very experienced).
There are so many resources for homeschooling available now so you can find something for every budget and for every child's learning style and for every parent/teacher's teaching style. My eldest is borderline genius and my youngest is 16 but doing 2nd/3rd grade work. There is nothing in their learning styles that is similar, so I had to use totally different methods to teach them, but both have excelled with homeschooling.
If you decide to homeschool and have questions, I'd be happy to help you find what would work for you.
