No, perhaps I didn’t explain it well enough in my post.
Roeper said that Nancy Drew would be well-liked by 12-year-old girls and Wilonsky is the one that said, “Maybe Homeschooled 12-year-olds” with a very condescending tone and look...
Perhaps he meant that since the Nancy Drew character isn’t dressed like a tarted up slut that she would be well liked . . . He may not have meant it as a compliment, but I would take it like one.
This incident is much more of a negative commentary on Wilonsky than it is on homeschooled kids.
Are you that sensitive? A condescending look? Do you think my four homeschooled children (who I adopted from foster care, and have endured much more ridicule than what you describe) would be offended as such a comment? Do you think I, as a homeschool single mother, am offended?
Absolutely not. Doesn’t matter how he meant it. Just once again proves that my children are better off in the communities (homeschool, adoptive, church) in which they reside, and live, and thrive.
Those public school kids can go watch all the other movies all they want to. No problem with me...
Oh, what does he know? Consider the source. /sniff
