Well I guess ignorance is bliss!, My son graduated from public school last year where he was a state champion wrestler, my daughter attended public school up until this year,she played for Clifford Kirk the last three years so I think she is prepared to play softball. As far as preparing your kids for the real world, let me assure you that public school is a "walk in the park" compared to GPS. Every private school parent is not sitting in judgement of your school. We have some really good friends playing for Ooltewah as well as SoddyDaisy. As a matter of fact Lamar coached my daughter earlier and we like him alot. Some of the posters on here are VERY thin skinned.
