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.
Sorry, I don’t watch tv and I certainly don’t memorize old commercials so your attempt at humor fell flat.
I have called wintertime on her comments again and again. However, she’s right about the power of the government. Every homeschooler knows if they don’t comply with local requirements, their children will be forced to attend government schools. If they refuse, they could be arrested or have their kids removed. The government has, at its base, the threat of armed force to compel citizens.
No police officer carries an unloaded gun. And yes, if children are removed from their parents, it involves armed officers. Just because the guns aren’t usually pointed at heads doesn’t make the promise of violence not there. Basic gun training says you don’t point a gun at someone you aren’t willing to shoot, and most of the time those situations do not escalate to shooting level.
It would if CPS tried to take my kids.
I’m glad you’re proud of your work. I’m proud of mine too. I make a lot of money and I’m going to give all that up to educate my kids so don’t tell me you’re making half what you can in industry. I’ve heard that line a lot too, usually just before the local schools increase my property taxes yet again and then explain why the graduation rate is so bad.
