My point is that in message number 347 you insinuated that when Jaysun said that he thinks the author was addressing a particular audience, that somehow contradicted his earlier statement that the article brings up a valid point. I'd just like to know how you came to that conclusion. It seems to me that Jaysun is saying the author is addressing home-schoolers, and he brings up a valid point, within the context of his audience and the subject matter.

To: BykrBayb; Jaysun
Whoa..!! Wait..!! (g) Okay.....let's start over. I've no animus towards either of you..And I assure you I read, and understood the article. LOL!!

Here is the original post that I read & responded to:

"No. The article brings up the valid point that children who are home schooled aren't always exposed to other boys or men (the mother often administers the home schooling) which can cause behavior problems. My kids are "home-schoolers."

Okay....so I read the article, then I read the post above...and I came to the conclusion... that Jaysun thinks that it's a valid point...."that children who are home schooled aren't always exposed to other boys or men (the mother often administers the home schooling) which can cause behavior problems." Jaysun doesn't say that his statement is pertaining specifically to the article. Or specifically to those HS'ers the author spoke with..or interviewed. He states he says he thinks the author has a "valid point". Period.

I disagreed..and that is what I responded to...and continued to point out. IMO, Jaysun wasn't clear. It doesn't mean I think Jaysun is rotten scum....LOL!!

I think WE just have a failure to communicate fully........You both have my apology.

Best FRegards,
