I'll pay for my kids to go to a good school (if I can), but as long as they take something out of it, and that doesn't have to be good grades, I'll be happy. For example, my parents have paid for private education all my life, and throughout it I got alright grades, and then, in the last 5 years, I started using the theatre facilities at my school, which ...[text shortened]... e to go to a school that could afford a theatre, I probably wouldn't have gotten involved.
Anyhow, as secondary education goes, I prefer my kids to go to a public school (like I did) because I think they'll learn how to deal with the real word, not just with the spoiled rich kids. But maybe things here are a little different.

In a couple of years we'll probably move a computer into her room. Maybe even sooner.
RHP? She doesn't like chess.
(Funny story, they had a Chess Class at her school in 4th grade. It was taught by Dean Ippolito. I encouraged her to take the class. It was after school one day a week. They gave her homework.

I can see what you mean about the comment to abejnood, but as far as I'm concerned abejnood knows what tits are and if he doesn't at his age, he should.

Originally posted by Freddie2006Yeah, again, I wasn't trying to criticize you and obviously I've seen far worse.

I was trying to explain my comfort level and my issue with it being other people's children.
That age thing happened once. Because of the age, I would prefer not to discuss the matter in the open forum.
As an abstract, let me reiterate that this isn't a question of what I should do with my kids or what someone else should do with theirs.
It's a question of what you and I should feel comfortable doing or saying to someone else's kids.
