"and I worry about suburban kids not getting any "real world" if they stay home from school."
That's a worry I had, too, but I got over it quickly, when I remembered the brutality of the real world of overcrowded public schools. I figured, and I think I was right, that it was my job to protect my kids from that particular slice of reality, not to inure them to it.
