DYK - in my area of MA, (South of Boston) the Private Schools offer so much more than the public schools


DYK - More in the way of academics, sports and class size


DYK - I could have sent Christopher to two all boys schools - one would have had freshman class size of 400 kids, the other one would have had 250 boys in the freshman class


DYK - two other schools were co-ed, one I just didn't like, the one he goes to he loves and I love.


DYK - he's in class of 175 kids - both boys and girls - they school does not carry a large enrollment - no more than 625- 700 kids in the school for any given year.


DYK - the all boys schools were so very expensive and harder to get to either driving or via public transportation.


DYK - his course options are varied and offer more AP and Honors classes than the public school does.

DYK - we send Christopher to a Catholic High School (we're catholic) but what I liked about this school is that you don't have to be catholic to attend.


DYK - he has learned more about general religion in his required classes, and they don't preach at you, or to you about being a catholic.

DYK - Jennie, I'm sorry your evening plans have gotten messed up again


DYK - as for all the cleaning, I used to hate when I spent all that time cleaning out things and it didn't look I did anything at all.


DYK - Michael used to ask me what I did all day when I cleaned out like that and really had nothing to show for it.


DYK - I would say Sean owes you time off.

DYK - my take on home schooling - it does nothing at all to help the kids in a social setting.

dyk I'm guessing your brother and IL's are in Fargo


dyk I'm seriously fighting the urge to pick up the phone, call up my brother and laugh at him


dyk I wonder if Bismarck also got snow....I'll have to check that out because then I'll need to call my dad, sis, and one of my other brothers as well.


dyk I used to love doing that to them when we lived in AZ

DYK - don't let up on being over protective...


DYK - a week ago, at the corner by my house, a guy in a pick-up tried to lure a young kid into his car


DYK - we live in a very quiet, sleepy town


DYK - well we did until last week when some guy shot his wife 12 times and killed her


DYK - Even at almost 13 we don't let Megan walk home from schoo alone and we live pretty close to her school.

DYK - too funny!


DYK - I like my MIL, but she can be "old" at times


DYK - So I often invite her to things I know she has no interest in or is on one of her Bingo nights


DYK - I score points with Michael for asking her and score points with MIL for asking her.


DYK - a win/win situation!


DYK - but one of these times, she's going to surprise me and say yes....
