Kriston, did you catch the negative posts regarding homeschooling? I don't see how people can think that we keep our kids locked in the house all day with no contact with others. My gregarious son used to get in trouble in preschool for talking too much and doing too much socializing. At home, he has MORE time to play with friends, not less.
Dottie, I understand your mixed feelings.
I think it's fine for folks to comment that they wouldn't feel comfortable with their child in that situation, but for them to condemn the family and assume that they know the whole story is just irksome. I haven't made the same choices for my children, but I support Colin,Josh, and Jessica's right to choose what they feel is the right thing for their family.
