Hi Nance,

I'll email you privately as soon as I can.

And Dawn, I will email you too as soon as I'm able. I have my own business,
and a five year old. We've unschooled since conception. And I'm single.

I would never flick her but I can feel why it bothers me so much. A major
Hot button for me.

I actually hadn't thought of someone being rude to her only her observing
rude behavior. Duh!

I ran into another HS (gen. classification ;o) ) mom today and breifly
chatted about summer. Feels like only HSers understand the yuck that come
from this type of group socialization. I hate it.

Dh and I were discussing it last night and saying it will take a great
deal of time to undo this crap. We are so bummed in hindsight that we sent
her. Live and learn.

I can tell exactly why she is dishing it out mostly to me. Maybe b/c she
is most comfortable w/ me or is it b/c I went away for 5 days and she is
pissed?

Oh well, take many breaths and teach respect.

Right. People who accept government schooling as the "norm" find the icky
school kid behavior "normal".

P.S. (But, to be fair, I have 7 charming nieces and nephews who went to
public school and they are all lovely people, so I should cut back on the
sweeping stereotypes. One of these days... <g>)
