Perhaps podkane is a troll. He/she/it signed up on July 7, 2005, made the ridiculous troll-like attack two days ago to which you (and several others) replied, and hasn't been back since.

Thought police here? is this DU?? Sorry I was away, but was just reading through replies to this and other threads..

WHO DID I ATTACK?? My post was complimentary to homeschoolers, just pointing out that it was a very nontrivial undertaking that not all of us are up to..

As for some earlier reply, it ISN'T a surprise that home-schooled kids excel. Involved parents = performing kids, and you can see that even in the public schools.. those parents who meet the teachers, oversee homework, calling the principal when there's a problem, etc.

Dear podkane,

"WHO DID I ATTACK??"

ROTFLMAO! You clearly have a future in comedy. Whom did you attack?? Here is your attack:

"On the order of 90% + people who start home-schooling, abandon it within a year, not appreciating the tremendous amount of work it takes."

This is an attack against all homeschoolers. You have posited that 90% of homeschoolers have given so little forethought to the education of their children, and their own educational choices for their children that they are unable to last even a year homeschooling.

If you are unable to see the attack in that, then that speaks volumes about you, all of it bad.

Then, when you were challenged to back up your lie with facts, well, you weren't there anymore to respond. That's troll behavior. Coming from someone that's only been here a couple of weeks, that's even more indicative of troll status.

But now you're here. Back up your lie with some objective sources. If you can't (and you can't, because it's so laughably not true that if you'd have posted AFTER you got your brain in gear, rather than BEFORE, you'd realize your lie is statistically quite improbable, perhaps even impossible), then be prepared to wear the label "troll."

"...that not all of us are up to..."

Yes, well, I would recommend that you continue to refrain from homeschooling, if you have children. Although I'm confident that the overwhelming majority of parents have the intrinsic abilities to homeschool, you appear to be an exception.
