They've pretty much given up on integration here in Kansas City, the flight to the suburbs and/or moving kids to the Catholic school system has made it impossible to do.

Gud, most of the people I know here (Massachusetts--Toto, we've never been in Kansas) who object to the teaching of evolution in our public schools, don't object to teaching of the theory of evolution itself. They object to what they call the teaching of the underlying philosophy of naturalism. Is that true in Kansas too, do you think, or is it to the whole shebang?

If I have to actually cover material that my kid is getting wrong in school, I've started homeschooling, but not taken it all the way. There's a breaking point somewhere along that continuum, and one that depends on the parents' ability and desire.

Well, my experience (which yours may contradict) is that you're fairly involved with your child's education anyway. God knows, I don't just stick to Emmett's school's curriculum when he's doing his Daily Edit, or working on a writing assignment. So the breaking point along the continuum might be some misguided notions about evolution. But that's distinct from saying you've started homeschooling because you're adding to/or amending what your kid gets from school.

We likey.

Thanks for the clarification, Gud. Still, bet it's not fun to be a bio major from small-town Kansas, this past decade.

Aww, Nutty, White Flight is still the guiding reality of many public schools. It pretty much defines the urban schoolscape.

But, like, white flight from schools, or white flight from whole neighborhoods and cities? Pulling your kids out of a school is denying your everyday neighborhood reality; zipping yourself into the white/affluent suburban cocoon is making a new reality. While I don't approve of either, the former is a sillier position to take.

I don't actually have kids.

ita, I took Hec's "you're" as "parents are..."--a general you, not you, specifically.

Oh. I was misled by him quoting me just above.

Sorry.
