Ack!! I remember that. I hate that idea! I don't WANT to be associated
with all the extreme fundamentalist, dresses only, switch swinging, textbook
toting homeschool types (my apologies if I offend anyone). I still find that
most people assume that if you homeschool, it's for religious reasons. Even
other homeschoolers!


>>There are hundreds of thousands of homeschoolers who homeschool
specifically to keep their children away from families like ours and
ideas like mine. <G> We're not doing the same thing<<<


LOL!! I think a lot of people feel the same way about me and my kids. I've
come to the conclusion that that's their problem, and they don't have to
hang around our family at functions if they don't want to. But the kids in our
homeschool group LIKE my kids, because they're just nice kids, friendly to
everyone. A few discussions have started up that could have turned into
arguments but so far both kids have agreed not to take the argument any further
(religious).
