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.
One of the reason (a few others too) I don’t homeschool is that I have absolutely no patients and would probably do more damage than not. My wife would be better than me. I am good to assist the kids with their homework which I do enjoy, but would probably poke out my eyeballs if I had to do it all day. lol. Good for those parents who do it.

That would be so sad.
Someone working that hard to discredit such a wonderful and successful option.
Homeschoolers have had to work so hard over the last years in order to bring REAL and RECOGNIZED credit (that they well deserve) to their efforts. That one person would possibly seek to undo all that they have done would truly be unfortunate.
Why on EARTH would someone want to discredit such a group?
Sad.
The sound you heard in the distance was Wintertime’s head exploding from my last post :)
