At present, my 10 year old son attends public school. After the past week, the school tragedy, reading about schools being able to vaccinate children without parental consent...and having a few issues with our school after my son missed a week with a broken arm..I am reconsidering this heavily. I'm researching and compiling info to discuss with my son, and my husband. I believe the OP called me out in another thread about this topic, and I have to say thank you for this thread...you've given me much to consider in the coming days. It may just happen that my son won't be returning to public school after Christmas break.
