I am glad you know that all homeschoolers do not have a superior attitude. Those who do even make other homeschoolers feel lower than dirt if there children are not doing calculus before the age of 10. My children are advanced in some areas, behind in other areas, and average in others. It all depends on how the children learn. Just like I get annoyed with NEA types who talk about all the bad things homeschoolers do in their eyes. I also get peeved with homeschoolers who look down on others for making a different choice. I thought the whole thing was supposed to be about what’s best for our own children.
“I am glad you know that all homeschoolers do not have a superior attitude.”
I do...and thank you!
I am sure that you are doing the BEST for your kids~
And I am doing a darn fine job as well!
“I get annoyed with NEA types who talk about all the bad things homeschoolers do in their eyes.”
YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!! I get so annoyed as well! (I actually work in education...and pay dues..which is EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING when one does not AGREE with the NEA on so many levels!)
Thanks for your comments!
Happy Mother’s Day to you!
This is exactly my posiiton and why I have serious doubts that the poster is or was a homeschooler. She strikes me as the kind of person that is using the absurd to totally discredit one segment of this equation, and that segment is the homeschoolers.
Some of the homeschoolers to whom I have forwarded some of these threads have not bothered to reply by email, but rather have picked up the phone and asked with indcredulity "You've got to be kidding, this person is nuts. S/h/it is no way representative of true homeschoolers."
Take that as you will - I am just reporting my experience.
” I thought the whole thing was supposed to be about what’s best for our own children.”
And you thought right.
