Anyone here homeschool?

And my son was 99 percentile on reading and comprehension, 98 percentile on math, and 96 on English and science. I went with the lowest scores with both my teens.

To add to what might be wrong with public schools
Public schools are targets. School shootings are a risk some parents may not want to take. They may want their child to grow up in a safer environment. I have not heard of homeschool related shooting sprees.

do bb gun wars count? if so, I have a story for ya!

I didn't have to curse once though for it to ruffle your feathers. Heck, you anti-homeschoolers get your panties in a twist over someone using alternative schooling on their own children.

I'm a homeschooler, and I have been very turned off by this conversation since the very first person asked "why homeschool?". Except I wasn't turned off by the homeschooling questioners, I was turned off by the harsh and combative responses of the OP. I'm sorry GlassAngyl, but this kind of behavior gives home schoolers a very bad name. I tried to say it more gently and diplomatically in my previous post, but there are (at least) two adults in each school / home interaction, and if this is how you spoke and presented yourself in those situations, I'm not surprised you got the negative response you did.

To everyone else, please don't assume that this self-aggrandizement is the norm among home schoolers. It definitely is not.
