From some kind of search (there are too many to keep track of). I do remember that I wasn’t looking for public programs for home educating families.

We’re Not All Cut Out for Homeschool, Toast Floats

Polly has both optimistically and euphemistically referred to as one of our “supportive conversations about homeschooling and parenting” but to which most of us parents refer as our “gossiping sessions.” We parents are required by law to be on the grounds of the school while our offspring participate in the Seattle School District’s answer to the ever increasing numbers of children escaping public school. Rather than give up that money, they’ve created a place where they can entice us back into the “system” with art, drama, music, and advanced math classes. For this we are paid $400 a child and they are paid $8,000 by the State. Our kids expand their minds, and we chit chat and drink coffee.

The post is a combination of poking fun at homeschooling, and Staunch Defending Commenters.
