OK Mark, I guess you have been sufficiently hazed. What beef do you have with Homeschooling, we can start there.

My Christian belief as an Exiled Believer (John Shelby Spong's term) should not by a subject in a discussion on homeschoolling. Try to keep it on topic.

Do you feel the level of professionalism in the public schools is where it should be?

OK... that's a fair criticism.

Let me ask you something....

In your opinion what is worse?

Poor homeschooling

or.....

Poor public schooling?

I think all good education is worthy no matter what the system but any educational system that does not contain good education is unworthy. I have taught in public schools and Christian schools.

So ...yes pubklic schools ahve their fauklts. this is amtter which publkic school teachers critically reflect upon. Unfortunately I have not seen the same level of critical reflection in homeschools.

You're a teacher? :confused: If you turned a paper in to me typed like that you'd get a big, fat, red "F."

Ok ...the spelling is because of the typing ...I don't type well ... that i acknowledge ...also I'm not writing a paper ... I'm discussing ... now and then the fingers will slip on the wrong key ...keep it to the ideas not the character, or the spelling, or the basenjis ...or John Shelby Spong ...though I may probably talk about him and his mentors within the discussion at some point.

When you were a teacher, would you have accepted that excuse from your students that turned in a paper typed like that? If not, are we here at TOL less deserving of well-typed posts?
