Statements on Home Schooling
----------------------------
>From the Austin family:
A stranger said, "Don't you think your children are being deprived of
the thrill of buying school supplies at Wal-Mart when everyone else
does?"
>From K. Becker:
Our realtor learned we were home schooling. She commented about the lack
of social development that would result, but tried to still be positive
by adding, "Even though they couldn't be realtors, thank goodness that
there are lot of jobs out there which don't require people skills."
>From P. Minerd:
My father asked, "Will I have to bail you out of jail for this?"
>From MDT:
My neighbor was picking my brain about getting the public school to
challenge her first grader. She was concerned because my first grader
was already reading while her son of the same age was just learning the
sounds of letters. Nonetheless she challenged my home schooling saying
my son would still miss out. "It's important for him socially too. He
needs to be offered drugs so he can turn them down."
