"I resent the âhome schooling cheering section commentâ� but I realize you have no understanding of the advantages of home schooling, and for some of us, it meant a huge sacrifice, financially and socially in order to give this gift to our children." -- Personally I don't care if you resent it, I'm not some mealy RINO that balks if you're offended. I know what I meant and if you took it the wrong way thats on you. I know there are huge advantages to homeschooling and I know its *always* a sacrifice. What *you* don't seem to realize is sometimes its too much of a sacrifice. I would rather have a healthy spouse and kids in a christian school than to risk the health of a spouse for the pride of homeschooling (and yes there is a huge sin of pride around FR on the part of *many* homeschoolers). ".i would rather spend 1 hour and learn about the efforts of people like Benjamin Rush and S.Truth...than hours of social rights of gay people ...an inconvenient truth and the life of Barack Obama told over and over again." The dichotomy you have created makes a great case for you but it is in fact a patently *false* dichotomy. There are charter schools, private schools, and even a few decent public schools left out there.
