Since you homeschool and evidently have done so quite successfully, I have a question.

I constantly run into the attitudes you are dealing with here and others that haven't come up. Do you find that the sacrifices and adjustments to the adult's lifestyle motivates a good part of the resistance to homeschooling? Especially in the reasoning discussed here. I know there are some that have no confidence in themselves as teachers and I believe that is a different kettle altogether.

Definitely! I did not home school, but our children do. It is a lot of work even for stay at home mom's (I hate that phrase), but the rewards are so great that it is worth it. We try to help with the grand children's education anyway that we can.

I may be biased, but all seven are very well educated, even to the 5 yo who has been able to read for a long while.

One of the children and their mother is in Europe now learning first hand history and geography lessons.

I was a married teenage mother, who knew that an education was just about all that we could give our children as an inheritance. Mission accomplished!!!!!!
We sacrificed and sent our children to private school.
