[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with all of the sentiments expressed here, except the person talking about the devil. this is OP, and I'm agnostic. In fact, a good reason why I'm seeking homeschool forum here is because it's likely to represent secular homeschoolers. We didn't luck out on the lottery and initially began homeschooling because our public school was pretty narrowly focused on reading and math, the kids seemed miserable, and just as we were about to enroll, a teacher was prosecuted for molesting a student. However, in the intervening years, we've had a really good experience with two different coops and have found there are many people like us, who wish to homeschool not to "keep the devil out" but to try and ensure a school environment that fosters love of learning, yada yada.

It doesn't really work for homeschooling (or alternate community schooling, which is probably a closer name for what we're doing anyway) families to convene in the schooling boards. Our issues and perspectives and topics are completely different. We need to discuss curriculum, finding tutors, finding community, finding classes and maybe finding similarly aged kids to join classes, talking about ensuring our kids get a social life beyond the home, etc.

Yes, I'm aware of DCUM's large and active repertoire of trolls, and if they really find that enough time to dedicate to trolling our forum, more power to them I guess? But I'm hoping that people can just mind their own business - if not, we'll step over and around them as always.

Thanks for considering, Jeff. [/quote]

The problem here is that no one, ever, minds their own business.

Also by posting that a teacher was arrested from your children's prospective school (as in actually arrested, not permitted to stay and continue the illegal behavior) you do sound like someone who is indeed trying to "keep the devil out" - which is alarmist to say the very least.[/quote]
