Very eloquently stated. Particularly the last paragraph.
When zealots continue overstating their commitment to homeschooling, they risk alienating those who believe homeschooling is a fine endeavor for families who choose to teach at home. Problem is, zealots usually don't recognize themselves in their fervor to convince others that what they are doing is ok. It IS ok that they're doing it, just don't force it down others' throats.
Thank you and I appreciate where you are coming from.
I'd like to see the PS's change. I can't imagine when it will happen, but if it does, I'll have my 3 at the public school! I would like to see my tax dollars work for me, for a change.
All I can say is AMEN!!!!!!!!!
I don't homeschool - but I am extremely interested in a lot of what is said by the homeschoolers - it is amazing how many hints I've picked up from them about occupying children while at the same time teaching them something.
Homeschooling is not for everyone, but that does not mean that homeschooling is not going on in the homes of children in public schools.
Having a 1st grader who understands fractions is an amazing thing!!!! Particularly to the mom that didn't understand fractions until about 6th grade!
