[liberty or death]

Our 5 children, all homeschooled don't fit into any of the normal social patterns. They don't need the group to survive and find many of their peers act like a weekday sitcom or an mtv video. Many kids in a Sunday school are there for the same reason as a public school, free babysitting. Without parental guidance born of unselfish love your kids will have problems no matter how they are schooled. You have named a bunch of steriotypical observations on some homeschooled kids that are preached straight from the NEA. Are you?

Seems CBS and the NEA and teachers unions are in lock step. Our 2 girls are homeschooled and doing great.

Now you've insulted me. I cannot abide education unions! Not the national nor the local one. They are bent on having all teachers treated "fairly" with no accountability, pushing kids into year round schools, making pre-school mandatory, etc.! My observations about home schooled children are genuine. I came through public schools, pushed myself to take the college prep courses and graduated with honors. I know kids in public schools right now in my area that are great kids, taking honors classes, involved in the community, etc. I guess I'm just biased!
