Not always -- I've had a few of them get rather nasty with me, generally stemming from the fact that I'm not, in principle, opposed to public education, (having gotten a pretty good public education myself).
I find that public education often gets the blame for outside problems, such as the prevailing culture, kids with horrible attitudes and even worse home lives, and so on.
My college roommate is a public school teacher. He tells me that parental involvement is the most reliable indicator for academic success. There is a greater correlation than gender, race, or economic status. If parents are involved, children succeed.
So why did we choose to homeschool rather than be involved public school parents? Our public school system is so bad (in so many ways) that it was just easier to do it outselves, we are in a financial position to live on one income, and my wife had a great interest in doing it.
We've been happy, and haven't regretted our choice. I hope that you'll look back on your choice and feel the same way.
I am not a militant homeschooler, I am a militant "do right for your child". I am militant that a child needs a parent, not an institution. If your child needs to get some school in to see what it's like, that's fine with me. Some children that I have seen in my homeschool connections NEED to go to school for a while, just because the world rises and sets on their butts.
I believe that a child is better off to do Kindergarten and maybe first grade before homeschooling. My younger daughter will be attending half day Kindergarten in the fall, then come home and do her regular work. I expect she will not go to First grade. In fact I'll be surprised if she makes it to Christmas.
I'm here if you need a boost, even if your daughter goes back to school.
Some children won't learn from a parent. But the learning is much more fun at home!
