As I said you don't know me, if you did you would know I have nothing against home schooling and am very supportive of it. What I am not supportive of is the offensive attitude some FReeper home schoolers take toward those of us who have made different choices for our children.
And while we're at it, you referenced a parochial school in your own background, so WTF are you doing now as the public school queen?
Yup, 12 years in Catholic schools and I wouldn't change the education I received in high school for anything, however that was in the 70s and in NYC - 2 places I do not care to return nor take my daughter.
The way I see it is you made choices you felt in the best interest of your children, just as my husband and I did for our daughter and I really don't give a rat's rear end what you think of the choices we made. You don't have to agree, but that doesn't make our choice any less in the best interest of our child - because that is the point, she is our child, not yours.
Gabz,
I must say, it takes breathtaking arrogance to think that I was making any comment about you. This is not about you. Let me repeat. This is NOT about you.
I don’t know you. I don’t really care about you - in the sense that I am commenting about you. I certainly don’t wish you any ill will. To be clear, I was talking about public schools in general and their part in the liberal destruction of America, not making any comment about anyone’s specific choices.
However, your response would make any pychologist perk up and say that I have touched a nerve.
