Id honestly like to home school them, and focus on useful knowledge, keeping them out of the cesspool of terrible parenting in public schools.  Not really room in the budget at this time though.

Check out Powerhomeschool, Khan Academy, Dr. Binox, Lotty Learns. There's lots of available resources. We home school 3 kids for less then 1k a year. There's also a tax rebate for up to $1200 per kid for home schooled kids where we live.

Ron Paul also has a home school program that we're looking into for our eldest. It's 550 a year for one student and 1150 for three students.

The Earth would need 2 to 3 centuries for planet-wide healing if humans were removed from the equation, specifically technological civilization.  Hunters and gatherers is the future.

It is so funny to watch young, and old phone users glued to their phones with their brain-dead stares.    Even worse when they are driving.

I see people weaving in and even out of their lane and I know they are texting. As bad as drunk driving.

Yeah the issue is having one parent home during the daytime hours to accomplish it.  We could work opposite shifts, but there is a lot of value to being together as a family on a nightly basis.  For now the plan is just to do parenting at 250%, and try to nip bad behavior and the side effects of terrible parenting of other children in the butt.

but really... if you guys don't deal with many young adults, go out of you way to engage in a conversation with them.  Between online gaming, technology, and just piss poor parenting... I am surprised some of them are able to even dress them self.  They sure as hell cant hold a conversation.

If you let your children of any age spend more than 1 hour on a phone or tablet on a daily basis... shame on you.
