You know, I don’t think I know anyone who is homeschooled. Wonder if that’s unusual?
I’m not surprised you don’t know anyone personally who homeschools, but you will definitely meet some sooner or later. Look for the well-behaved, polite & happy children out in public who aren’t screaming their heads off — who open doors for people — and who look right in your eyes when you say hello — and that’s where you’ll find them. Today at our homeschool Park Day we had (as usual) about 40 children, ages 3 to 17, all playing together and loving every minute. For two hours— not one disagreement, or bullying incident, or fussing, on the playground. The olders help the youngers, and everyone gets invited and included in on basketball, tag, etc. We are one happy group of Mommas, looking on at our children enjoying their childhood, and “socializing” better than any other children we could meet in public school.
I hope Joy experiences a plethera of criticism and controversy over her degrading comments about how “demented” homeschoolers are. Hard lesson, but necessary when you have diarrhea of the mouth like she does.

You’ve got to get out more.
Neither did I, until I started homeschooling my children. Then I had to go looking for them. Where we live, there are homeschool families of all different stripes. Most of the kids are nice. Of course, there are always a few bad apples in a bunch.
