Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

interesting that you would rather blame other families who need public education, when there is very little evidence that the economy is actually driving the enrollment changes, than blame the politicians who have let this situation occur through lack of planning. have you done any research into this? if you are angry, it would make sense to learn enough about the situation to know where to direct your anger.
