| | |  Would you send your child to Hogwarts?
iVillage has a cute new poll in which you can answer the following question: Would you send your child to Hogwarts?
Your options are:
-Yes. Harry Potter thrives in this specialized learning environment!
- No. Hogwarts students face death and destruction all term long.
Surprisingly, 86% of real-world moms have voted that yes, they would ship their kids off, despite the dangers. Also, the feature taps into "noted parenting and education experts' views on the Hogwarts curriculum, teaching faculty, etc. - with some surprising insights."
You can take the poll here.
Thanks to Laura from iVillage for letting us know! | |

i would completely send my child to hogwarts
despite the dangers, the children learn from that! and are more skilled in defending themselves in the real wizarding world. | |

I'd most certainly send my kid. I would miss them a lot, but education is a priority, especially considering their special qualities.

I would attend, and I would definately let my children attend (if I had any)
And Hogwarts isnt that dangerous ... It only seemes dangerous in the books because Harry was being attacked by Voldemort the whole time.

I have kids, they're 6 and 4. Right now I cannot imagine sending them away to school because I think I would miss them terribly. But if it was because they were witches and wizards, then I would seriously think about it, but I would be sending owls with packages and letters all the time.

I'd say 'yes'  And I'd put myself inside one of the kid's bags 
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

No matter how dangerous Hogwarts becomes I'd still want to go. It just all seems really cool.

If I had one, well, I would miss them. But that's how all parents suffer. So yes, definitely I would send my child there. I would want to go there too!
