I have recieved letters of commendation from superiors, letters of compliment from parents and been nominated for "Who's who in education" twice, My Masters GPA was a 3.96, I scored the highest ever on my Vocational education certification exam. Yeah I think I can safely say that I am one of the best.

So any parent who truly cared about their kids would send them to you? That's the height of arrogance. You're just as bad as wintertime with calling parents who choose something else, child abusers.

I don't care what your credentials are. When I have kids I'll do whatever is in my power to keep them out of the hands of the system you serve. If that involves moving in with my mother in law, working nights clearing tables, whatever. Not only do I consider it my religious duty, but I also believe I can provide them a better, more rounded education without any of the downsides that government schooling has. Teachers like you, who used to tell my mother she was ruining our lives by homeschooling, are why to this day I don't trust most teachers I know.

By the way, my Master's gpa wasn't much lower and I studied an engineering subject rather than education. You have a visceral emotional reaction to the subject of homeschooling because homeschoolers are doing your job for free and doing it just as well.

Apparently you consider stating facts with arrogance.

You need to get over your self.

I am D@mn good at what I do, and I do it for half of what I could make in industry.

I do it because I believe that that the education of our youth is one of the top three priorities of our society (Notice I didn't say government I said society)

So any parent who truly cared about their kids would send them to you?

It is a pity that you did not recognize the allusion to the old Hallmark commercial, as a comeback to wintertime's rants about Public School professionals being useful tools and idiots. Have you called her on her comments?

Get over yourself.
