No indeed should you draw such a conclusion about animal abuse.
Verga’s point is when anything homeschool is shown in a negative light, it is ignored or brushed off as an anomaly.
However, if you spend your free time scouring the Internet for ANY reason to trounce public schools and their employees, then that is okay.
There is a reason I do not post on education threads. No homeschooling harrigan will answer up front, sincere and honest questions. Anything. Outside of their stock responses cannot exist; it is arguing with a Jehovah’s Witness and equally effective. On a positive note, the heat and pressure got too much when confronted for an actual dialogue that most turned tail and ran away whining for us to leave them alone. We teachers are such bullies, you see.
Life goes on regardless; they can continue in their narrow minded fantasy world of a hypothetical situation that has never and will never exist.
My best to you.
Okay, now I understand! I’m tired & slow today ; )
The condemnation for teachers IS mind boggling. I truly don’t understand it. The complete lack of being in the real world regarding people not choosing to homeschool is bizarre. So many people are not in a financial position to do that & horror of horrors........some live in a good, if not great school district.
I think almost all teachers are very supportive of homeschooling. I had a week long environmental workshop 2 summers ago. I got a ton of great material I could not use. A friend knew a young mom who homeschools & I gave her everything. She was over the moon.
So yeah we rock & I am so glad to know you both. Be well FRiends!
