I don't choose to homeschool mine, but I respect your family's decision, as well.

Ah...dang, I thought you had a "quibble" under your saddle blanket?

Just tweaking ya....!! lol!!

I most certainly have empathy for your decision also...And I realize that you may not think "highly" of those parents that decide to go against the "grain". So be it. No skin off my hide. I'm a big boy, I can take it. LOL!!

My experience is quite extensive, albeit anecdotal..with those who think "parents" are under qualified to "teach". My conclusion is two-fold...First many are slim on the facts..about HS'ing. Secondly, I believe teaching "credentials" are extremely overrated.

HS'ing isn't for everyone. It's a sacrifice. It's hardwork. But for us, it's been well worth the effort.

FRegards..and watch them "quibbles"...!!

As I have previously stated, I haven't anything against homeschoolers. Indeed, more power to you. What I dislike about some who homeschool is the "holier than thou" attitude that many take on, present company excluded, of course.

My children are receiving a fine education which is augmented at home by many hands-on projects and discussions.

Best,

Anny
