Actually we recently had an incident where a girl (who I think was 7 or 8, not even a teen) who is at pre-school with our 5 year old made an extremely disturbing comment to her that caused us to contact social services in case this girl is being abused at home. I think that was the main tipping point for my wife to consider home school. You figure if our girls are going to be hearing stuff like that from 7 year olds, what's it going to be like when they start mixing with older kids?
Can't hide your children from the world forever. Eventually they'll know every bad word in the book. I prefer to teach them myself that way they use them in context better.
