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.

Wait, wait!
Are you technically "working"? It seems to me you are planting and watering. You don't get paid for that now, do you? Please use the correct definitions.
I sound like someone familiar, don't I?

But I am homeschooling. Yep, I've decided I definitely am. That list of questions made it crystal clear to me. In fact, almost everyone I know is, too.

Sure, yours at post 695:

'Fess up. Clearly you are certain that the alternative to your method of parenting is what the rest of the parents do: just plop 'em in front of a tv.
That's why you and your DH don't see yourselves as mere parents, but as the equivalent of certified, college-degreed teachers:

I even gave an example. If we were homeschooling Dylan, it would have been made part of the studies for the day. And I would have taken his question and expanded on it into a lesson. Instead it was just another teachable momment in the daily life of an 8 yo.

What a most fortunate coincidence that your DD's teacher recently spoke to you on the very same subject we are debating. And she not surprisingly is most supportive of your and your husband's daily assistance with your DD's use of kits and paper projects and other child-led hobbies. I can't imagine a teacher weighing in one way or the other on a child's choice of engaging in rock polishing and origami.
"AHA!!!! That's it!
You are adamant about your "homeschooling" your dd because you want to distinguish yourself (make yourself look BETTER) than the other moms here."
Why do you think that homeschooling makes dh and I look better?
"So are you mistaken or wrong?"
That would be neither.
