As I have previously stated, I haven't anything against homeschoolers. Indeed, more power to you. What I dislike about some who homeschool is the "holier than thou" attitude that many take on, present company excluded, of course.

My children are receiving a fine education which is augmented at home by many hands-on projects and discussions.

Best,

Anny

Fair enough. We all have a likes and dislikes. And I realize that many people who are confident, and "know that they know"...what they are doing is correct for them.....can "come across" as holier than thou. If that is your perception...I'm sorry if that is how I've come across.

But I will remind you that what I originally responded to was your implication that those whom aren't "highly educated" were somehow not qualified...to teach their children. If I remember correctly... :0) you had a "quibble" with them....

Now, if you want to ask me..did my wife and I have doubts? Did we have reservations? Did we think maybe we weren't qualified? Did we second guess ourselves in the beginning..and at other times during our 20 yrs of HS'ing? The answer would be a loud, YES!! we did. But over time...we realized that it WAS the right thing for our children, and we are reaping the benefits of those years now.

I'm sure they are....And I'm happy for you..and I respect you for making sure they are receiving it.
