[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, there are a lot of [b]secular[/b] homeschoolers in this area. I've been homeschooling here for several years now and the majority of homeschoolers I meet seem to be [b]motivated by quality of education[/b] rather than religious or political ideology. I'm in Silver Spring.[/quote]

Secular? Hardly. Not from my experience. All HS I know belong to religious groups. This includes my SIL who is a Southern Baptist and moved her family from NOVA to Lynchberg, VA, (her home town). In her case, it's more about [b]running away from the secular world [/b]rather than being motivated by quality of education. The kids sometimes stay with us and I watch them study, I do not see much rigor in their curriculum. I suspect that the kids are behind as compared to students in Fairfax County. SIL was a mediocre college student and she could not hold down a job. She quit the "corporate world" when she became pregnant with first child. I hardly think this qualifies her to be a teacher.

Why would faithful religious families feel unwelcome in public schools, I wonder?[/quote]

True. Please keep your superstitions to yourselves. You are welcome to disconnect from society like the Mormon/Church of LDS, Amish, etc. [/quote]

If you can keep your prejudices close to the vest, perhaps...[/quote]
