No, you get no prize, because wintertime refuses to acknowlege the experiences and observations of others that run counter to her experiences and observations. In her world there is no such thing as a fat homeschooler, your world and my world are different - but they don’t count in her world because we are different.

I spent 12 years in Catholic schools and wouldn’t trade my HS education for anything. My alma mater consistently ranks in the top 100 in the nation in publications such as USNews, Newsweek, and Time. Unfortunately where we used to live, many of the public elementary schools were far superior to the local Catholic one, and the public schools were sub-par IMO.

Thank you so much for the post. I have read many of the others and I think pretty much agree with you 100 percent which I am glad. I seriously support Homeschooling if it is right for the family, but could never insult others for picking another means of their children getting an education. That Catholic Education you received did A LOT of good!!!!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is a strawman. What am I supposed to do? Am I to defend an argument of your own creation?

I have **consistently** stated that I **personally** have never met a fat homeschooler who has been homeschooled from the beginning. If others have met a fat homeschooler ( that has been homeschooled exclusively) then I believe you.

I still conclude that they must be rare since I **personally** have never met one.
