I am also, however, entitled to my opinion of your opinion and you know how low an opinion that is. Objectively and justifiably so since you actually have the temerity to defend the indefensible training ground of the leftists known as gummint skewels. Be sure to get back to us when your kids turn leftward. Meanwhile, you and other love slaves of the National Education Associaton pay all of the exorbitant bills for the gummint brainwashing of those kids abandoned to the gummint skewels and leave conservatives' earnings alone.
That should help you get your facts straight.
As to the leftward leaning of my children, again you have missed the mark - both girls are very conservative and very grounded in our religion. Any parent who leaves the responsibility of their child's spiritual and moral training to another gets exactly what they deserve. My husband and I did neither. At 17 and 20, I could not be prouder of their morals, but it was not left to chance - ever.
You never bothered to read what I wrote - all you did was overlay your opinions and expectations over my statements and twist it into some sort of odd debate. Attacking a fellow conservative is in poor taste - what say we leave the attacking to those we have huge differences with rather than try to find ways to mock another over imagined slights and some imaginary 'scale of conservatism."
Hey buddy, Gabz is my friend, and she has always, always, unstintingly, supported me in my homeschooling efforts. She is not a public-school doormat, far from it. You don’t know her, you haven’t met her, but I have. Your remarks are really, quite unnecessary, I assure you.
That’s nice but people may reasonably be judged on what they post. I don’t know you either.
I gather that there are reasons WHY you homeschool, other than a coin flip or something. Are your reasons unique to your family and your kids and inapplicable to the children abandoned to PS 666? So long as there are gummint skewels, parents make the decisions and many will dump their kids there but they DO NOT PAY THE FREIGHT even for the ideological and spiritual perversion of their own kids (or mostly pay attention to that ongoing process because it is inconvenient to "free" babysitting).
Do the leftists, atheists, agnostics, ape-worshipers, et al., have a RIGHT to your tax money and mine to run their leftist training camps so long as (other than money) they leave us alone? That is how people in the soviet union lived.
I also would observe that you are making an unwarranted assumption in calling me “buddy” at least at this point.
The issue is still: SHOULD gummint skewels be suffered to exist? For the reasons previously stated, NO!
Oh,heavens. They know how to read and spell correctly. Ya don’t wanna do that, do ya?

Homeschoolers have proms, too, you know. There are homeschooled parents who get together with others all the time. Shows how ignorant you are.
Homeschoolers have proms, too, you know. There are homeschooled parents who get together with others all the time. Shows how ignorant you are. They also have graduations with other homeschoolers. The homeschooled kids I know are much better off emotionally, physically, spiritually and every other way than public school misfits.
And we won’t even talk about what riding the bus can be these days...
One guy hammered me for being a big government liberal because I didn't support privatizing municipal police and fire departments, and the IDers have been chastisizing everyone who doesn't believe the Earth is 6,000 years old as being un-Christian.
I guess the collapse of the Bush presidency has led many to board up their brains like a house before a hurricane.
Your comments are just as ignorant as you accuse mine of being. But hey, if I hadn’t said it, you’d never be able to be such a Johnny Come Lately to such a long dead thread. Please leave me the hell alone.
Well said! Right on. “I guess the collapse of the Bush presidency has led many to board up their brains like a house before a hurricane.” So true.
In Ebert and Roeper's world, the few kids they know go either to the government schools in a well-financed district, or more likely, to some sort of expensive private academy. It's not that they are trying to be jerks, they just don't know any better.
The best cure for blind prejudice is knowledge. Hopefully, these gentlemen can acquire some.
With pleasure.
Everybody on FR is a buddy to me, because they are usually nice people! It's a compliment, it's a shame you don't want to think so.
However you did post to me three times! So what's with that?
I am not disagreeing with your point of view. I am not a fan of big government either. The whole thing is on the verge of collapse. However, I cannot in good conscience stand by and read a post that insults a good friend. Surely, you can understand that. My friend Gabz is not against educational freedom (i.e. homeschooling etc.), that is the point I was making.
In your opinion, there should be no schools whatsoever - all parents should pay for 100% of the cost of their child’s education in a private or home setting. Have I misrepresented what you have said in that statement? Would you also include community colleges, universities, med schools, law schools and other institutions of higher learning in that statement?
Well said.
