Why on EARTH would someone want to discredit such a group?

Because they want that type of group gone. Gabz has posited before that some posters here are actually NEA plants who go on the most ridiculous rants just to make homeschoolers look bad. I don't know if that is true or not, and at first I 'pooh-poohed' the idea, but now I'm starting to come around to her side. Some things are just way, WAY too bizarre to be the product of a rational mind and a deep believer in homeschooling. When someone compares sending a child to a public school to the equivalent of feeding them poison, woah, that's out there. But who knows who is on the other side of the screen? I figure I have to account for me and what goes on in my class, other people are in charge of themselves.

I have nothing bad to say about parents who homeschool or choose another way of education. Competition is good - all it does is make our society and future generations stronger as we all adapt to the complicated populace we serve.

It gets sadder by the moment!
That means that I could be PAYING the person on “the other side of the screen” to argue with me!

HELP!

I can't deny doing that, and the main poster I have stated that about, and directly to, on numerous occassions, is wintertime. To my knowlege she has never refuted my claim, then of course she has a penchant to not bother directly addressing anything another poster says if that poster does not march in lockstep with her position.

I have nothing bad to say about parents who homeschool or choose another way of education.

No argument here from me. With a few exceptions to the rule, the VAST majority of parents are extremely rational about the choices they and others make in regard to the "formal" part of the education of their children.
