I was asked if my parents were handicapped because I was not homeschooled which was an incredibly ridiculous and stupid thing to say.

You, sir or madam, are not telling the truth. I asked you why you wrote that your parents were not were *capable* of providing you with a good high school education (not why you weren't homeschooled). I offered being handicapped as one possibility that came to my mind. (I hope you don't imagine that I view that pejoratively.) Since you find the suggestion stupid and ridiculous, I'll take that as a no to the suggestion, but the original question is still unanswered.

I was just wondering whether there was some unusual circumstance that made them unable to let you pursue your education independently. My parents sent me to school too, but I wouldn't say it was because they were incapable of some other approach.

I also asked what you were referring to with respect to inadequate "socialization" possibilities and you ignored that too. If you decide to bring it up later, please write about what I actually said instead of some contortion of it.

I guess being asked to explain what you mean by what you write is just too stupid and ridiculous. For my part, I find a discussion without the possibility of clarification rather useless, although maybe not stupid.

Well what i drew from what you said is the only excuse for not homsechooling is if a parent is handicapped and thus rendered incapable of it. You also seem to be suggesting in this more recent post that i had an inferior education ( “your parents were not capable of providing you with a good education”)without even knowing anything about the school I went to.

It would have been unnecessary for them to homeschool me when i was in a school district that even offered chinese as a foriegn language. Can you speak chinese? Can you set your kids up with an internship at a newspaper as easily as a professional photographer?

I was provided with a good high school education.

At any rate that was a fairly insulting thing to say to someone; please don’t pretend it was not.
