Here is my take on it. I only want my family to hang out with folks who teach their children to have respect for other people's choices (with the rare exception of abortion- that I do not "respect"), who can respect other people's property, who are not violent and who understand simple boundaries.
I don't care what color their skin is, how much money their parents make, what religion they are or where education is derived from.
Every parenting situation is different just as every single child is different. What kind of parent does not understand that?!
I don't want to be criticized for homeschooling, just as I do not criticize those who do not homeschool.
We are all doing our best to provide what we can for our kids and get thru the day.(Which is harder some days than other days!)
It is not at all cool for a parent to add to the daily stresses of raising kids by flaming another parent.
It is all about choice. You have yours- I have mine- they have theirs.
As a homeschooler I deeply believe that I know my what my child needs more than anyone else- and no one can tell me otherwise.
IMO- we all have that power in our own families.
>>Well I am a Christian, homeschooling - stay at home Mom- who lives in an affordable community.(So what?!)

Wow! I couldn't have put it any better. Kudos!
Exactly! Why is that so difficult for some posters to understand?
I agree 100% with you on abortion--its my absolute. On that topic, I give no quarter--ever.
