if it turns out that I am really onto something and I am not just talking out of my butt, then it falls under the blind squirrel - nut theory :)
:] I will have to remember that one. Seriously, I thought about it. You may be right.
:)
what happened further up this thread? People thought YOU were stalking them?
Are they out of their collective minds?
How is the fence coming along? Wife happy with it?
Wow, whatever. When a 'conversation' gets to the point where the discussion is based on former posts which direct to other posts about posts regarding other peoples posts about my posts...it's time to call it a night! LOL! Have fun :-)
the fence is getting there...
I have some brush and stuff to clear along the back of the yard first, but the holes are dug and the posts go into the cement tomorrow...
Cool. You will be so glad when the job is done! I found out the hard way the difference between cement for fence post and cement for walkways..(quick drying!!! not good for walkways! good for fence posts!)
Absolutely nothing. As a matter of fact upon rereading this article I failed to find the girls race mentioned at all.
Somebody is making some BIG assumptions.
Cyborg: I am leaving for Wyoming in the morning and will be gone for about a week. Try to behave while I am gone.
I'll try my best :o)
"Fine, then they should have their tax dollars spent on education refunded to them."
With interest.
I agree, if she's not part of the school, she's not part of the band. And there's no reason her parents should pay a nickel toward the public schools. I have no kids in school, but I would be willing to make a decent monetary contribution for a home schoolers' band.
"I didn't call the police or the fire department once last year. Can I get my tax dollars that were spent on them refunded?"
If they refuse to put out your fire, you should.
Well, I am not sure about your point. I support people's right to ride a motorcycle without a helmet, but I don't ride a motorcycle anymore. I support people's rights to go rock climbing without ropes, but I never did that myself.
Homeschoolers like you may be pioneers, but don't be so dismissive of "supporters". There are not enough of you to get anything done in this political system without the at least tacit support of the rest of us. Do you really think that the few pro-homeschooling laws passed in some states are solely the result of the activities of the homeschoolers themselves? Do you think the legislatures would have given a Rat's a$$ if there were not supportive, but non-homeschooling parents who also supported homeschooling?
Besides, you weighed the pluses and minuses and decided that the plus of homeschooling (good teaching, perhaps God-centered education, less crime, etc.) outweighed the minuses (you knew in advance your kids could not participate in the stuff at the government school).
