To add to the discussion thread: find a homeschooling community that is solid. I've met some very good people that are homeschooled and not the crazy secluded repressed type. Just solid, intelligent people.
This is an option I have discussed intently with the wife. She isn't too comfortable being a teacher (part of her concern is that English is not her native language), but with school costs and our plans to have two more kids might make home schooling a necessity.
Thankfully home schooling is no longer illegal in this state (it was when I was a kid) and there is some degree of school choice (charter and magnet schools). Though the teachers unions got their candidates elected to the school board this election. Those candidates ran on a platform of de-funding the charter school and pretty much ridding the city of any form of school choice.
