while only one raised feminaziism on this thread, i have encountered other homeschoolers who have insinuated the same. i can truly blow myself wide open here and admit that i am a lawyer and that will clinch the deal for sure. In any event, i agree 100% that the NEA is nightmare organization and that NOW and feminazis would much prefer kids NOT be homeschooled and do their level best to trash homeschoolers. i know exactly where you are coming from, and all i ask is that people not automatically pigeonhole people who DON"T homeschool as inadequate parents.
as to questioning whether i am cut out to homeschool, as i think i have explained, i work with my 7 year old, who has a learning disability, and i see firsthand what my lack of patience wreaks on her poor little psyche. i much prefer to read to her and play dolls and teach her to cook, than to do MATH with her, where one or both of us ends up bawling!
i much prefer to read to her and play dolls and teach her to cook, than to do MATH with herThere's one school of thought (pun intended) that would say at seven, that's probably what she would prefer doing with you and everyone else, too.
You sound like you could be an unschooler! ;-)
