I am not a member or supporter of the NEA.

Still can't give me any sources for your statements, eh?

I am not surprised......

Take Care,

It is apparent that you're like most homeschool worshipers. Any opinion that doesn't purport homeschooling to be the Second Coming of Christ is automatically dismissed. The instances I have been discussing are instances about which I personally know. You might call it anecdotal. It's fine if you dismiss that. You are trying to pin me down to your view that homeschooling is always the right choice, every parent is qualified to do it, and every child is able to handle it. I'm sorry, but I just don't believe that.

So, I will say it AGAIN. Home schooling is OFTEN a fine choice to make. If parents ARE ABLE TO DO IT, then I have NO PROBLEM with it. I think it can be a GREAT EXPERIENCE for SOME CHILDREN. However, There are parents who ARE NOT QUALIFIED to do it and who REMOVE THEIR CHILDREN from school with NO INTENT whatsoever of teaching them anything. I have seen the results of this. Therefore, it is still my opinion that sometimes homeschooling is a great thing, and sometimes it's not. There are pros and cons. I am not criticizing your choice to homeschool, or saying that you do not have the right to do so. I am merely offering my professional opinion.
