Why are you so insistant on attacking the homeschoolers? You're as bad as the homeschool fanatics that have told me I don't care about my child because she goes to public school.
There is good and bad in any education system - working on the good to eliminate the bad is what we need to be doing. Not denigrating those who are trying to do just that.

You remind me of someone who walks in on the end of a two way conversation and admonishes one of the participants without having all the facts.
FYI, Born in a Rage set the record straight in her post #323. But if you are still suspicious about me and think I've "attacked the homeschoolers", please educate yourself in the following posts on this thread. Check out my comments to GBA and others in posts 19, 78, 83, 234, 237, 239, 247, 248, 266, 294 and 299.
It was then that Diva jumped down my throat in her post to me #301, only because I described situations that I've known about for some home schoolers. Never mind that Diva's kids are in a home school group and have lots of extra cirricular activities to fill their day, she still wrote me an obnoxious rant listing every minute of her kids daily schedule which had nothing to do with the situation I had written about in my post #299.
I don't give a flip about the clubs Diva belongs to or the summer home she has and didn't appreciate her snarky attitude toward me and still think it was uncalled for. She could have mentioned that her kid's days were full of extra cirricular activities and "thank goodness what I described didn't apply to her family situation"... period. I would have been happy that her home school situation is working out so well, but instead, I snarked back because of her biting remarks.
Bottom line: I feel very confident that both you and Diva didn't bother reading my other posts or we wouldn't be having this 'conversation'.
