Fine, you win.
Homeschooled kids are like unto gods and mine are just regular dogs.
Happy now?
Some lardass mother with good intentions and a high school
diploma can turn her little rats into geniuses at the blink of an eye.
Got it.
I'll trot my boys outside now and instruct them in ditch digging.
I don’t need any ditches dug at the moment, but if you’ll teach ‘em how to trim back the bushes from the sides of my house and haul them away, I might hire ‘em. Get references.
Uh, yeah, humblegunner. Her odds are probably better than classroom instruction. And the children wouldn't be treated like "little rats".
Nobody was calling public school parents names or using epithets. Parents of homeschool children are anxious tight now to protect their liberty to continue. Many of us around the country believe that this is exactly what God wants us to do. Like the family in the California case, we've already been doing it for many years (26 years in our case). We have three children left at home and are homeschooling them.
We would think that even public school parents would applaud our efforts. And those of us who are property owners are forced to help finance the public schools we don't use.
We are not trying to call public school users ugly names, believe me. We are having to defend ourselves and our “kind” at this point. We are waiting to see how this California court's idiocy might spring up in other states where more of us live.
Regardless, we would be one family who could never submit to such a ruling in our state. We would have to fight or flee. I would certainly send my children out of state for a while. Families like us are working overtime to put together our answers for why we homeschool should be ever be taken in. Stating facts like “Homeschooled children score much higher on average than public school children” are very important to us. They are not meant to denigrate you.
