I've been thinking a lot about public education, and doing a lot of reading. Some links are above. I have some opinions forming, but am not ready to organize all of my thoughts into a coherent thesis. The more I think about it, but more I feel like I could write a whole paper on. Anyway, you (my vast readership, haha) have been warned about what may be to come. Actually, I'm mostly interested in doing this for myself.

Awesome links!!! Thanks!!! :-)

I'm still thinking, too... mostly one way, of course, LOL, but still entertaining the occasional "what if..." I was just talking to my sis-in-law who home-schools, too, which was interesting. I'm my biggest pro and my biggest con, LOL...

At any rate, I'd definitely be interested in reading a thesis, should you put one together! ;-)
