It is hard for us, as homeschoolers, to not get a little boisterous when there is some good news / reports that back us up. Many of us have had to fight our way through this battle with little or no support. Those around us don't understand, and the school systems are upset about letting our children go (the $$$ they will miss).
So please forgive us for cheering too loudly and bragging about our kids! It isn't a matter of anyone being better than another. It is more a case of validation, recognition, and support....all of which we need.
Homeschooling isn't for everyone. I didn't think it was for me, either, until I tried it. I found out that it was right for us, and pray that God will let me continue with it.
I was, and still am a certified teacher. My father is a college professor. This is not a judgement on those who have their children in school systems, IMHO. It is rather, what God has called me to do for Him at this time in my life and that of my children.
