Read this book and you will.

I don't really want to read it. I don't have a reason to want to fear the schools. I guess what I don't like to see is an attitude in homeschoolers that must tear down other methods of education in order to bolster their own method. If it is good, then call it good. It doesn't have to classify everything else as evil does it?

Home schooling is dandy. It is wonderful when it can be done, I will grant you that. But I don't want to have to embrace insults against where I came from in order to respect homeschooling, and I feel like homeschoolers too often don't promote homeschooling without tearing down everyone else that attends traditional schools. How can I answer categorical statements about kids that can't write? - I can write.

I don't think homeschooling is ever gonna be practical for the mainstream. It is unfortunate perhaps, but most families aren't ready for that. Many good families aren't ready for that, and the broken ones will never be ready. And the majority of Americans don't share the goal to school at home. So there has to be a good option for those kids. If the schools are broken, we should fix them because fixing them is the right thing to do. If they are wrong, why can't we make them right? - I don't agree with abandoning the schools to the liberals who are the only ones left there. - So I wish the best parents who care about the curriculum weren't already gone, and there was a place on the conservative side for those who want good schools. The good people have left the constructive part of the discussion. They are already on the other side of the road, where all they do is jeer and point, which doesn't help solve anything.

Hullo! - Good Morning! - I hope you don't mind the tediousness of this discussion in our cheerful Hobbit Hole. And RMD, I, like commas, too. My fault when I read my own writing is that I write in the way that I would speak it, with pauses, for effect, to make sure everyone heard, and is stopping to consider, my point.... LOL!
