It’s nice to know that such a highly-esteemed person such as you considers me and my family irrelevant. Sounds a lot like the government school mentality.
Could be you’ve not met hs’ers like my family because you are so caustic toward anyone who doesn’t fall in line with your dictates. It’s been very unpleasant chatting with you. Still I wish you well.
Good day
Look, you can do whatever you want, and I understand the sensitivities here. The point is not to hurt or “validate” your feelings, but to help a new family succeed. If you are spending five hours a day lecturing to a child stuck in a chair, you represent an approach that has a real world success frequency among homeschoolers that asymptotically approaches 0. Suggesting that someone consider what you are doing is not all that different from one in which a parent asks for advice on teaching his child to play the piano, and someone says that playing with your feet is one model. After all, you can find a few people on YouTube doing that. Of course, the “model” is irrelevant in the real world and a recipe for failure. Newbies should not be encouraged to consider doing what doesn’t work, ESPECIALLY when what doesn’t work is their experiential default.
