One other choice (if your child is mature enough) is to purchase the Robinson curriculum and have him go through it himself.

I worked in the public school for several years, only to be near my youngest son. I pulled him from the school system, for the very reason you talked about in your article.

The police department was called many times during my employment. I live in northwest Arkansas. I worked in the
