[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My issue with home schooling is not that it exists but there is a whole cadre of parents that make it a way of withdrawing from communities as if the rest of us have unwholesomeness syndrome.  We had some family friends that basically implied that about everyone and their kids are just nightmares of judgment on everyone and everything.  This impression was seconded by a cousin who ran a ice cream shop in the Midwest and said that they quit hiring kids that were home schooled because the kids had a hard time working as a team.  There are obviously really good reasons to home school my mom did if or one year with a sister that was very sick, but put her back once that passed, but I have to wonder what commitment many people have to communities that withdraw from the education system.  I should add I feel a bit the same way about private schools. [/quote]

Frankly, so what if there is a small segment of society that wants to withdraw from society or who are judgmental. As long as they are obeying laws of our country I do not care. There are also plenty of judgmental folks in public schools and the public realm like Tea Party nuts who portray liberals as enemies or Fundies. That is just the way it is in our country with all different folks. The same can be said for homeschooling where you will find everyone from fundies to atheists and everything in between.[/quote]
