Have you seen posts 52, 55, and 88? Not to mention others who have had success at homeschooling?
Wife Swap? Give me a break. The family are idiots. If that’s what you’re using as evidence against homeschooling, you’re pretty desperate and it gives you no credibility.
The abysmal condition of the vast majority of public schools academically, socially, safety wise, is enough of a reason to homeschool, regardless of some weirdos. There’s a family much like that in our community where the only difference is that the kids goes to public school. Shall we use that as an indictment against public schoolers?
So they managed to dig up some nut cases and portray them as homeschoolers. Big deal. Nutjobs like that are certainly not a reason to avoid homeschooling, because becoming a homeschooler will not turn you into that kind of person.
How do you suppose I have read these posts you listed when I was off to another thread. Anyway, it does not matter what you think of Wife Swap is not the point...you obviously were homeschooled. My point is that this is what people are seeing not FREE REPUBLIC. Get it? Oh no. I love homeschooling children. It gets people away from the public school. I personally think that Catholic School is the route to go but it is a personal choice.
