I have never met a fat homeschooler who has been homeschooled from the beginning. Never.
I have. Do I get a prize? That is one of the most stupid comments in the history of FREEPERS. Homeschoolers are not these perfect little angels. They have the same problems as other kids. My God and yes some even get FAT! Geesh. We got it. Homeschool is a good thing. Nobody is disputing it. I will still send my kids to Catholic School as always, but that is just me.
No, you get no prize, because wintertime refuses to acknowlege the experiences and observations of others that run counter to her experiences and observations. In her world there is no such thing as a fat homeschooler, your world and my world are different - but they don’t count in her world because we are different.
I spent 12 years in Catholic schools and wouldn’t trade my HS education for anything. My alma mater consistently ranks in the top 100 in the nation in publications such as USNews, Newsweek, and Time. Unfortunately where we used to live, many of the public elementary schools were far superior to the local Catholic one, and the public schools were sub-par IMO.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I haven’t offered a prize.
I have merely stated that I **personally** have not met a fat homeschooler who has been exclusively homeschooled. I conclude they must be rare.
I can look at any school bus stop, where children are waiting like day laborers, and concluded that institutionalized children are NOT at all rare.
