ShadowMaid,
I am a product of public school (I graduated in 1987). Up until I married my late husband, I had a major problem with socialization. I was so shy. I couldn't talk to anyone without becoming red-faced. Sometimes, even now, I have to fight the shyness.
My daughter doesn't have that problem (I wish she did sometimes. :chuckle: ). She'll talk to anyone; man, woman, black, white, young, old. And, up until this past year, I had a real problem with that because she would take off to walk them to the door of the store or whatever. She doesn't do that anymore.

It's incredible how much MORE home schooling can solve.

very. :yawn: I'm curious, do any of the people here who home school ever worry about not understanding certain classes their children may want or need to have. I know some people who definately wouldn't be able to teach, say Calculus, and I wonder what they would have to do if they decided to home school.
That's what teachers' manuals are for. But, if I ever have to teach my daughter something that I just don't get, I will hire a tutor or send her to the local junior college for a class.

I think he was referring to himself. Of course I'm getting wacky due to needing to go to sleep so I could be wrong. Anyway, he doesn't need to corrupt his values either.Originally posted by ebenz47037

Hey, my doctor approves of my glass of wine a day average alcohol consumtion. Not only is alcohol good for one's heart, but so are the antioxidants found in red wine. I'd make a joke about not being able to corrupt what I don't have, but I wouldn't be fooling anyone.
I don't drink at all. But, it's because I don't like the smell (or taste) of alcohol due to growing up with alcoholic parents.

To hear some people talk, the number one pastime of college age men is to corrupt pure young women. My fear of angry mothers keeps me in check, though.
Don't forget fathers with guns, too! :chuckle:
