Make no mistake about it however, you’ll be slammed for this post as will I, by an odd assortment of pro-gov’t school types on this site.

Interesting statement.

What would be even more interesting would be if you, glide625, could point to some posts that attack anti-public school advocates. Show us a post or two where Christian home schoolers, on this site, are called wicked, sinners, child-abusers, naive, dumb, evil, greedy, stupid, etc. I bet I can show you about 50 or more pages where Christian public school teachers are called those things.

No public school teacher or advocate is going to slam anyone for wanting to homeschool their children, at least not in the way that public school parents and teachers get slammed.

I teach where I teach because I believe it is the right place for me right now. Not because I'm cooperating with the atheists, not because I'm greedy, but because I am where I am supposed to be.

In Virginia, we also have the 'moment of silence.' Every morning, the kids and teachers pause to reflect. Sometimes the principal mentions something for the students to reflect upon, sometimes she doesn't.

It would be nice if the vitriol heaped upon Christian school teachers would just stop - especially the attacks coming from people that would not want the same words directed back towards them.

Merry Christmas to you and yours. May the New Year bring you peace and prosperity.

Softballmom, these "attacks" are associated with the daily news articles about the clearly outrageous failings and abuses of too many government schools. You neglected to mention this, and you give Glide625, and the others, the false impression that these so-called attacks were gratuitous and without merit.

So?... What are we to think of government teachers who are responsible for, cooperate with, assist, enable, abet, hide, and are sometimes oblivious to, these horrible government school abuses against children?

"Wicked, sinners, child-abusers, naive, dumb, evil, greedy, stupid,"...etc.,,are far too mild for people associated with the acts reported in the articles posted. If I could think of words that were even stronger, I would use them!

By the way, you know, and I know, that I am likely responsible for a large proportion of the 50 pages that you have accumulated. How kind of you **NOT** to include me in your lengthy ping list.

Finally, as the professional that I know you are, I know that you would never give half the argument to your students. They are, after all, emotionally immature, and unsophisticated in the finer points of debating techniques.

“It would be nice if the vitriol heaped upon Christian school teachers would just stop.”

I’ve never heaped vitriol on Christian school teachers; it’s quite a leap to go from a comment about how dificult it is for Christian kids to remain Christian in a public school setting to heaping vitriol upon Christian school teachers. Actually, it’s impossible.
