To: metmom; wintertime

As you both know, I’m a homeschool grad married to a home schooled, on my way to being a homeschool mom. Don’t let the naysayers ever make you doubt yourself. I appreciate my homeschooling more every day. My mother mentioned recently that she believes I’d have been labelled as Aspergers’ if I’d gone to government schools. I loved math and science and I disliked stupid social games. Those traits are an advantage to my adult life. As a kid they’d have gotten me labelled and medicated.

Homeschooling is the best option for 99% of kids, if the parents care to try.

Possibly labeled, but not medicated without parental consent. Yes, the schools can push, but they can't do anything more - as much as some of them would like to think so, teachers, admin, and school psychs are NOT medical doctors and cannot prescribe.
