It looks like the sensible Homeschoolers are finally coming out of the woodwork.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you on this one, Christine. What would I do with $5 K worth of exercise equipment, when I have paths and mountains and canyons to walk in? <BR/>I choose to homeschool, but that choice could change with the needs and desires of my homeschooled kid.<BR/>It is not a bad thing for a company to do

I had so many of these same thoughts girl! I just knew if I put them in writing I would be blasted and... well.... I am a big chicken, so... <BR/><BR/>There are also friends of ours who homeschool that are in scouting with us that are not Christians, won't go to church AT ALL but our oldest doesn't let that stop him from working on merit badges with one of the boys. People have all kinds of

<I>flag waving from Doha Qatar</I> <BR/><BR/>Hooray Christine from an American Homeschooler in Qatar! Didn't we get away from public schools to not have to fight all of the time with the school boards, teachers and even other students because we care so deeply for our kids, their character development and their educations?<BR/><BR/>I could go other places with anger, christians, and the goverment

Love the pets and plants. Too funny. I doubt the PR people would let them win if they did include them at this point! Isn't that what we always are afraid of at fast food joints when we complain about the food? That guy flipping the burger can spit an awfully big loogie. LOL

Glad to know I can eat Subway guilt free now. My favorite thing about your blog is #1 the milk pic o' the week (I nursed till pg again for a total of 59 months. YEAH BABY!!) and #2 your profile pic. If that is not actually you we may or may not be able to be friends. I would be a bff to any woman who has that tat. SO stinkin cool!!

Thank you!<BR/><BR/>I have been scratching my head for over a week wondering what exactly the problem is.<BR/><BR/>Just a bunch in whiney folks if you ask me. I would have liked to see the equipment only go to a school in certain poverty levels as well. Do the rich schools with fancy eqipment really need more? *sigh*

Girl, I couldn't have said it better myself! My sentiments exactly!<BR/><BR/>Homeschoolers everywhere...LET IT GO!!

I agree...let it go. I wasn't offended by the contest. Their contest, they can make the rules. <BR/><BR/>I do have some friends that contacted Subway & expressed their displeasure with the contest. I was priviledged enough to read the responses & Subway was extremely gracious in their response.<BR/><BR/>Abby

Good thoughts, but no more anonymous comments, guys and gals. Lets own our words.

As another perosn who is in public ed. let me just reassure you that all public school teachers are not out there trying to brainwash children into thinking the same way. In fact, most teachers despise what is happening to schools and are sticking with it just to be a voice of reason (not that we're listened to). Also the vast majority of teachers I have had the privledge of working with are

It is nice to see that the homeschoolers, who I feel in my area are way radical, still have a level head about them. You have put a new faith in homeschool folks for me. I am a Christian, and a parent, who believes in public ed., as I am a result of it. In fact, "it" is what I do. Unfortunately, what we see in my realm is homeschoolers coming into public ed for the most part well behind where

Yep. My thoughts exactly. We are spending our bellyaching currency on irrelevant issues when we should be saving up our juice for the time when our rights are seriously threatened.
