Sounds like Ms. Cotton is feeling a little convicted. Homeschooling Moms are great mothers and they make people like Quinn Cotton look and feel bad and we can't have that, now can we!

I can hear her now...

"Look at that Mother, she is waaaay too committed to the nurturing and education of her children!!! Oh and look how that teenager actually respects her parents and, I kid you not, enjoys spending time with them. That's just not right!! Somebody needs to put a stop to this! Why, it's....it's....it's....terrorism, that's what it is!"

I recently bought a video of the 1960's-1970's rock group, The Band, and drummer Levon Helm made a telling point: "Back then, everybody said you should hate your parents and never trust anyone over 30, and a lot of other things that didn't make a whole lot of sense to us, so we just steered clear of all that." The author of this article seems to be the kind of person that Helm was talking about, the kind who assumes that estrangement from one's parents is the normal course of things.
