Thanks Terry – you wrote “of course i am their dad” referring to your pride in them. I would suggest that you are one of the dads who’d know how to arouse their curiosity etc. I don’t mean to be untrusting, bur wouldn’t some other parents be indoctrinating? Not that school isn’t, but at least it’s a diff exposure from home? Honestly it’s hard to think about this because in my case i am pretty sure school is crap here and i would do better, but can’t get a handle on how this would work for others
