[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 353430"] When I partially homeschooled our daughter and she encountered foliks who thought she was different because of this, she told them that she often had McDonalds for lunch or I made her a home-made lunch. She also told them she finished school at least one hour before they did and rarely had homework. This shut them up and FAST! They were envious of her homeschooling. If they didn't like it her after that, it was for the "usual" reasons. The time we partially homeschooled her were the best years by far. She learned the most by far and she kept her social skills intact. AND especially since in our case the school was very nearby and it was convenient for us, it allowed me a few ours each morning to be alone and have some peace. I'm not against homeschooling per say, but I really don't think it should be a way of life. I think that our kids should learn to "deal" with what is going on in the schools and make adjustments as necessary. That is what life is all about. And if the academics are weak then parents might consider supplementing with a tutor. Of course there are exceptions...extremely bad schools, religious reasons, very sick children, etc. But generally, I think it should be simply a temporary situation to re-establish equilibrium and moms should be free to move forward, explore their own interests, careers, etc. [/QUOTE]
