I am glad you recognize that homeschooling is not an option (nor would it likely be the preferable option from society's standpoint) for all children.

I haven't noticed that.

For wintertime, it's his/her way or no way. For people like that, the need to feel superior because of their choices exceeds their desire to simply be doing what is right for them.

It will soon be evident that homeschooling is the most natural, healthy, and effective way to raise a child to an emotionally and educationally secure adulthood.

I rest my case...

the need to feel superior

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You are attempting to divine my emotions and motivations. It is impossible for you to do that.

The question is: Is homeschooling the superior way to raise a child to an academically and emotionally adulthood?

Answer: It is, and it is becoming clearly evident.

If you disagree with this, plainly state your reasons. Comments on my feelings of superiority are a poor argument.

I was referring to this post by wintertime:

In 1998, I did work in an inner-city welfare clinic in Philadelphia. None of the children were homeschooled. It likely would have been impossible for their parents. These children need to be institutionalized for their education.

For students to be homeschooled by parents who are barely, if at all, educated themselves is not in society's best interests. This may or may not include those parents who are addicts, criminals, and/or have no work ethic.

Homeschooling is a choice, and it works quite well for some families. For others, it is impossible, and for still others it simply isn't the best choice.

Of course, wintertime, sometimes your rhetoric is so extreme that I wonder if perhaps you aren't just trying to parody a homeschooler. Surely you don't expect us to take everything you say seriously? :-)
