[quote=Anonymous]When my husband and I go to parties, the conversation quickly turns to homeschooling, what with the small talk of "What do you do/Where do your kids go to school/What grades are they in?" or else they've already heard I homeschool and want to ask me all the questions they've ever had about homeschooling: "Do you use a standard curriculum/Do you have to test your kids/Where do you get the patience?" (No--We don't have to, but I do--Are you kidding? I don't have the patience to deal with the schools!). I've noticed that the more sophisticated, educated crowds tend to be more accepting of and intrigued by homeschooling, and the... others... tend to quickly get defensive and insulted. So don't let the issues or fears of others be a deterrent. Homeschooling has been an amazing, wonderful experience for us, and the schools are always there if we change our minds. [/quote]
