[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your expectations of their education may also be off base. Reading and math skills have been pushed earlier and earlier in the school systems in the last 40 years, but there is research that indicates the natural age for those skills to be developmentally appropriate is a couple years older. Just because we can skill and drill kids into learning a skill earlier doesn't mean that's when their brains are ready for it. Not a homeschooler, but wanted to point this out -- we're not talking about an 11 or 12 year old who can't read, and comparing home-schooled kids at their young ages to your community-schooled kids is a bit premature. [/quote] This. The kids will probably turn out to be exceptionally bright kids with great problem solving skills and high emotional intelligence. They will ultimately be very well educated I'm sure. Are you of lower educational level compared to your friends? It sounds like it. Also, if they noticed your 'judgy' 'attitude odds are they will not be visiting you again. You sound awful and ignorant yourself.[/quote]
