BuddingBuddha WOW! Perhaps you are really just beginning to learn the Buddhist ways or any other form of kindness and respect. You can't honestly make a blanket statement for what is "right or wrong" for others. As a "school" teacher what do you actually know about education at home? The idea that home-schooled children are taken out of society is completely inaccurate. My children spend more time per week interacting with others in our society than a kid that sits in the same building 5 days a week. I am not even against public schools in general. We have some wonderfully talented teachers in this country. However, as a society we have shown teachers that they are not valued. Our teachers get paid to little and then give them to many kids in a class. (I will leave it at that.) Frankly, we have shown America's children that they are not valued either. I have gone into our local school and checked out the curriculum my children would be using. Everyday Math and Creative Spelling? Please! How can we be judged by people who don't know anything about us or what we are teaching? How? Fear. That is how.
