But then you say: "By the way,,,,,I have never met a fat homeschooler who has been homeschooled from the beginning. Also,,,,,I have never met a homeschooler with ADD or ADHD who has been in the home from the beginning." Come off it.....So now public schoolers are fat, lazy, unfocused, as well as stupid?

Saying that one has never met a fat, ADD, or ADAH homeschooler does not also say the converse, that all public school kids are. I'm trying to think of any homeschoolers I know that fall into that category and so far, no. And we've homeschooled for 12 years and been part of 3 different support groups. Not exactly a valid study but I can't disagree with it in my experience.

Metmom,

I am glad to hear that someone else has noticed this too.

Those children who have been homeschooled from the beginning have not been overweight or had ADD or ADHD.

Hopefully, this will get the attention of a researcher with the training needed to study this.

Personally, I think it is due to the large amount of time that homeschoolers spend in highly physical large muscle play and also in the fine motor play that they engage in.

Also....since mom runs the kitchen the homeschool child is less likely to exposed to non-nutritious foods that drive hunger and cause the development of life-long unhealthy cravings.

But,,,hey,,,,this is merely my personal observation.

Homeschooling produces children with healthy slim bodies and strong bones and muscles.

We agree!
