chosen to accept. Their business, nobody elses.
I'm serious, I don't get it. If my son weren't vaccinated and got measles,
but everybody else is vaccinated against it, then what? He gets measles and
nobody else does. Right? What am I missing?

I'm not even sure what I'm suppose to do to register.(Until I read Sandra's
post) I figured if she wasn't in the system they are not going to even know.My
customers ask about school because she goes with me to work.I just say we
don't send her,they then say "Oh she's homeschooled,how nice" and I just smile.I
did have one customer that asked about how she was going to get into college
without transcipts and I told him I wasn't sure but that there was so many
homeschoolers now that there must be a way.

The argument (which I, as a parent who vaccinates, do not agree with -- I'm
a to each their own kinda girl ;) is:
1. Vaccines are effective, but not 100% effective.
2. Unvaccinated people are more likely to get (fill in disease) than
vaccinated people.
3. Those diseased unvaccinated people are around whatever percentage of
vaccinated-but-it-didnt-work people who are out walking around, thereby
putting those vaccinated-people at risk.
It's a stupid argument, IMHO.

Tell the next person who asks there are several ways, and there are books out
to help people figure it out if they can't figure it out on their own, but
that the people who say high school is a re-requisite for college are the people
trying to say whatever they can to get kids to stay in high school. It's not
really a pre-requisite.

already have a compromised immune system. The unvaxed kids are supposed to
be a danger to them.

Thanks for the summary, Pam. There will always be people who are alarmed by the choices other people make.
I mostly wondered because I'm pretty sure my mil watches ABC news, and while she knows peripherally that we don't vax, I never know what she may hear somewhere else, since we've not discussed my reasons indepth.
