I have wondered the same thing Perna. I guess what keeps me from doing it is that I don't want my son punished because I disagree with something (which is what will happen).

Thank you so much for your response, AAAAA. I actually live in Mississippi, not Missouri. There is a virtual school here, but it is only available for high school students. A lot of the things you describe are very similar to how I feel. I am working on my courage. I have "open house" with his teacher in about 2 hours, so I will see what I think about her, she just graduated, so this is her first year. I've had a first year teacher before and it was an absolute nightmare (which is why I started spending so much time at the school).
