A: I think we should home school our children when we decide to have kids.                                                             
 B:What? Why?                                                                                                                           
 A:Well, our public schools here are not very good and private school are just too expensive. I have been reading up on home schooling  
 and it has a lot of advantages.                                                                                                        
 B:Like what? I think that by doing something like that we would be isolating our children from social interaction.                     
 A:Well, first of all, I would be able to teach them everything they learn in school in a more relaxed and fun way. I also think that   
 having a one-on-one class is much better since you can focus more on his or her strengths or weaknesses.                               
 B:I think neither your parents or mine would agree to such an idea.                                                                    
 A: I will bring it up over Sunday brunch.                                                                                              
 B: Good luck with that!
