Why do people, when they hear that you are homeschooling, invariably feel the need to tell you why they could NEVER teach their own children? Some people follow it up with, "I give you credit." or "You're braver than I am." or "I commend you for that, but...."
My choice to homeschool is a personal one based on our personal circumstances; it is not a statement of belief, nor is it a dig on anyone else's choice to send their kids to school!!!!
I don't know why this bothers me so much. I guess it's because it sounds like a backhanded compliment. It's just very interesting that without question, the person I'm speaking to is going to tell me why they could NEVER homeschool, but "good for you!" Ugh. Thanks for letting me vent!
