It is one of those arguments ...I feel the same way. It is one of those arguments you realize you will never win. I have come to terms with this through the many discussions with my in-laws and now I just think- live and let live. I also feel that not everyone can homeschool and it needs to be right for the family and the kids. Which is why I get more frustrated with the fact that there is no school choice and the monopoly of public education. But really, I do think it is one of those discussions that is never ending. Sometimes I have the stomach for them, but not so much anymore. I get enough of it from real life to want to go at it on the net.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13435420386430512990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111228953718918006.post-63092324958088043782008-09-18T16:43:00.000-04:002008-09-18T16:43:00.000-04:00I look at this the same way you do; I don't even w...I look at this the same way you do; I don't even want to read the debate. Why do people feel a need to debate about what's best for ALL kids (as if there were a one size fits all solution)? Are they that desperate to validate their own choices? :-/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111228953718918006.post-65952885673134479652008-09-18T11:38:00.000-04:002008-09-18T11:38:00.000-04:00Hehehe....I just spent *too much time reading over...Hehehe....I just spent *too much time reading over all the *arguments and noticed an interesting trend. Mainly only homeschoolers have bothered to comment! There are very few who have spoken up who feel kids are at a disadvantage and even those comments lead you to wonder if that's how they really feel or are they just trying to provoke?<BR/><BR/>On a bright note, someone KNOWS your blog is special! Gee, an invitation from the editor to post a link to homeschoolers on a blog that EVERYONE loves! <BR/><BR/>I wonder which school teacher blog they asked to provide this service...Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03113510205727830531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111228953718918006.post-76753385535814688002008-09-18T10:20:00.000-04:002008-09-18T10:20:00.000-04:00What gets me is that the public side of the Teache...What gets me is that the public side of the Teacher's unions all say - "Quality education" for all (Meaning their's is better than ours...) and the public school systems sucks badly. <BR/><BR/>I'm with you though, I'd have better luck teaching your cat, too. And that's AFTER I was homeschooled. They just prefer to NOT listen. Which makes sense, they weren't homeschooled. *L*<BR/><BR/>I also don't think that homeschooling is for everyone - but...the school system is seriously messed up.Amelia Antwilerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584920083164732963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111228953718918006.post-49695307780459398692008-09-18T09:48:00.000-04:002008-09-18T09:48:00.000-04:00You have an amazing way of pointing out the ridicu...You have an amazing way of pointing out the ridiculousness of this argument. Neither side is a 'one size fits all' solution.<BR/><BR/>I LOVE your references to musicals which also points out the ridiculousness of these opposing sides.<BR/><BR/>What I don't understand is since we live in America, the land of the free, why we all aren't just left alone to chose which is best for our families? Shoot, lets take that one step further and add freedom to choose which school should get our tax dollars, too! Maybe if an individual's paycheck was tied to job preformance, the public schools would have less worry about where the students were taught! Only the schools doing a good job would have a job!<BR/><BR/>Problem solved.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03113510205727830531noreply@blogger.com
