My husband is a teacher and repeatedly says that our five children will never go to public school. We've been homeschooling for 3 years now and I am very grateful that he's willing to be the “weird” one at work.

Interestingly enough, the parents who were upset enough to demand a meeting with my husband when they found out we were going to homeschool were all outspoken conservatives. Funny how the idea of government controlling their healthcare had them up in arms; but the thought of anyone pulling children from government school was extremely offensive to them.

I'm thinking they didn't find it "offensive" that you and your husband pulled your kids from government-run schools, but that they felt like a bunch of dupes who had been conned all their lives about government-run schools. Sort of like the "crabs in a bucket" syndrome, if you know what I mean.
