Some insight from a UC Berkeley Graduate Student

Berkeley has one of the best political science and history programs in the United States. It also boasts a specific major, PEIS, geared towards integrating economics, political science, and history. I can speak from experience that the history program in East Asia, Europe, and Latin American is exceptionally strong. The Middle East historian at Berkeley has a very pro-Palestinian slant (which could be a problem for some) and the historian who teaches international/diplomatic history can be a tad dry at times. I can't offer much insight into the political science department (sorry!). Please note that since both Berkeley and UCLA are both large schools you will most likely have graduate students in discussion section and even for senior seminars (albeit advanced doctoral students)

Taking a break to sub: bad for teaching resume?

My boyfriend is an art teacher. He's 30, and for various complicated reasons has held three teaching positions since graduating college, the longest being three years. He also spent a year substitute teaching in between two of those jobs.
He is currently looking for a job for the fall, after we moved to a new state so I could attend grad school. Since art jobs are hard to come by, landing a permanent position may require him to live in another town. The other option would be for him to live here and substitute teach during my two year program, and assuming we move again after I graduate he would search for a permanent position then

Like public schools have 100% perfect results?

I don't think so...
I think there is a place for all different forms of education, because one size does not fit all, and the goal is that our children learn to be the best person they can be and learn the skills they need to learn to be successful in life.
Andrea Yates happened to be a homeschooling failure (but her failure had nothing to do with her homeschooling -- her failure as a parent and her homeschooling were both effects of a particular cause). The Colfax family was a homeschooling success. There are countless other homeschool failures and successes as well as public and private school failures and successes out there
