Good points, all.

My objection is to the self-congratulatory posts of homeschool parents.

Broken down, they amount to "my kids are SO much better than yours".

This has soured me on the whole concept.

I'm certainly not prepared to agree with them that their kids are superior to mine.

I recall feeling just as you do. I remember a home school parent being rather arrogant too. Then, I had to remove my son from school (fifth grade), and we couldn't afford a private school, so I did house cleaning on the side, and home schooled my traumatized son. I know I have weaknesses in math, so have tried to over come those weaknesses by utilizing tutors. Now, at 17, my son is well adjusted, is pursuing an apprenticeship, and will soon be ready to take his GED. I know some parents can be off-putting. But, I did what I HAD to do.... and I'm certain you will do what you HAVE to do to be the best parent you can.
