Very interesting. Particularly the difference in the middle to upper income kids vs low income.
"I personally feel children need the nurture of their parents and the home," she said. "Those early years, that's when they are bonding to their family. That nurturing, only the family can give that."
I tend to agree.

We have 185 instructional days and 34 non-school days plus the weekends during the 05-06 school calendar year.

Well, to give her the benefit of the doubt, she could be talking about how many days her child actually attended school as opposed to how many days of school there are at her school. I know that Dylan won't be in school the 185 instructional days that there are at his school because he has been absent due to illnesses a few of those days. But I do know how many those days are to date because it's on his progress reports (and on my home calendar).

just for your information "The schools and classes shall be conducted for a total of no fewer than one hundred eighty (180) days during the academic year." this is from section 580 of the dept of education for the state of oklahoma. thought you might be interested. myabe you were talking about how many days your child attended school.

Nope, despite the new improved packaging, the content is still the same.

Can I help?
From what I've gathered, the type of thing you do with your dd is called "afterschooling" at least in the circles I participate. As long as your dd is attending school full time, what you are doing is called that. If she is being taken out of school for a certain amount of time every day and doing "school" at home, it is called partial homeschooling.
You do realize that if you want to communicate effectively, you need to use the vocabulary that your audience understands, right?
Hmm.
