And yes, they attended public schools.( Softballmom)

You girls are attending government schools in which boys will be educationally and emotionally neglected. This can't be good environment for either the boys or YOUR girls.

What are your girls learning? What socialization are they being repeatedly exposed to? Is it emotionally or socially healthy for your girls to see boys floundering daily?

I don't think so.

Is this the wonderful "socialization" that government school defenders are saying that homeschoolers are missing out on? Sounds toxic to me.

My children't elementary school is excellent, and no boys are being "educationally and emotionally neglected". Perhaps you should try qualifying your remarks. My oldest son started in that school as a second grader with many problems. He left last year with excellent grades, friends, and a lot of love for his teachers, having overcome a learning disability. One of his teachers told me how they all considered him to be one of their success stories.
