Regarding the Nov. 3 Metro article "The locals live and learn," on families who board their children at nearby private schools:
At first, the sentence "other Washington parents say they're too busy to have the kids at home" made me angry. But now it just makes me sad.
Why have children if you are too busy to have them at home? My son left for college in August, and I miss him terribly. I would love to have him home again.
My husband and I both work outside the home. We were fortunate that I did not have to work full time. But even if I had, there would have been time for my son, just as my husband made the time.
These children are growing up without knowing their families. Is school really that important?
