I'm guessing you got this far, and understandably quit reading. "To begin, I would say that I think home-schooled children have a particular vulnerability for a number of reasons. The primary reason, especially for the boy (and I'll be focusing primarily on boys), is that it isolates him from his peers." I bet you've been bashed over the head by ignorant b*st*rds who know nothing about home-schooling, so many times that you can see it coming a mile away. Only this time you were wrong. He actually expresses a pretty positive attitude toward home-schooling. Later in the article he says "My experience with home-schoolers is that the fathers are more involved with their kids than typical families and the fathers are what I would consider more masculine, where they are clearly the head of the family and they go to Catholic men 's meetings, etc." and "Furthermore, the decision to home-school, which is a major decision, is usually made by parents who are more concerned. Home-schooling is such an unpopular decision that, for the decision to be made, it usually means that the mother and father are very committed to the children. Already, that tells me that this is going to be a father who is more involved in his children's lives. "
