Very interesting. Particularly the difference in the middle to upper income kids vs low income.
"I personally feel children need the nurture of their parents and the home," she said. "Those early years, that's when they are bonding to their family. That nurturing, only the family can give that."
I tend to agree.

"Definitions are up for debate if and when the community of debaters finds it reasonable or interesting or necessary or productive to do so."
Unless common definitions = objectively true meanings, then clearly they are up for debate lois.
"You have so far been unable to elicit any interest in questioning the meanings of common terms"
I don't have to.
A common term is just that, a common term.
No matter how you try to spin it, common definitions simply do not = objectively true meanings.
Hence, the reason why they are up for debate.
"None of the rest of us have any problem with the term as it is used in current parlance,"
I don't have a problem with common terms either lois.
So long as common definitions = common definitions.
However, as soon as common definitions = objectively true meanings, yes I have a problem.
<<"Now homeschooling, that's one of those rare words with an objectively definite meaning,">>
Why do you think that common definitions = objectively definite meanings Sabina?
Moreover, why do you think that homeschooling = an objectively definite meaning?
"The real "homeschooling" aficionado should also be able to tell the difference between an *opinion* and "objective meaning", which seems for some reason to be important to you."
Yes, the difference between an *opinion* and "objective meaning", is important to me.
Is there some reason why the difference is not important to you Sabina?
Oh my, are you ever ready for the weekend, hk!

You haven't been reading. Let me repeat. There are no "objectively definite meanings". Meanings are social conventions. Your "subjective/objective" thing is pointless.

Didn't say it was. Only that just about everybody but you knows what it means.

In that case, you're chasing a phantom. Meanings aren't objective, they're only agreed upon. You haven't been reading my posts. And I'm not the only one who has pointed this out.
"You haven't been reading. Let me repeat. There are no "objectively definite meanings". Meanings are social conventions."
Indeed there are no objectively definite meanings.
Hence the reason why common definitions, such as homeschooling, are up for debate.
Glad to see that we're finally on the same page here.
"Meanings aren't objective,"
That is correct.
Hence the reason why common definitions, such as homeschooling, are up for debate.
Again, glad to see that we're finally on the same page here.
