Is that really an issue?

I was homeschooled thru most of grade school, switched to a public highschool (they're pretty decent around here).

Many of the teachers, when they learned that my sister and I were homeschooled, were intrigued. I have yet to meet someone actually hostile to the homeschooling, and I live in liberal NY. I know many skeptics (heck, I'm sorta one myself), but no one hostile.

And I know many NEA memebers.

But then, an argument based on anecdotal evidence is not especially strong.

Unfortunately, it is to some people. They lose a lot of money when people pull their children out of goverment schools.

Our daughter was in public school until 5th grade. I quit teaching and she asked to be homeschooled. She is ready to graduate next year and her "public school class" is going to be at the sophomore level. She just finished taking Driver's Ed this week and the teachers were all great to her. They have called on her to do special programs in our community and school system. She had the highest ave. in Driver's Ed--think she felt like she had to prove something.

All in all, it was a good experience. Ask her if she wants to go back to public school though, and she looks at you like you are crazy! Good kid, our daughter!!!!
