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.

<> As I said, you've enlightened me. I'm definitely a homeschooler. And isn't it part of parenting? Since I'm the parent doing both the parenting and the homeschooling?

Lying? Interesting debate tactic. Why would you accuse her of lying? And more importantly; why; on a debate board...would you accuse her then essentially pack up your marbles and go home with a comment like "no sweat" and without any basis?

The question is to you....Why do you think that parenting = homeschooling?

Just because you believe something, that doesn't make it true.

>>Why do you think that parenting = homeschooling?<<

"That's an easy one. Because what YOU are describing as "homeschooling" would be called parenting by people who use regular definitions for words, rather than definitions they make up."

Do I think that parenting = homeschooling, no. Have I made such a claim, no.

Do others think that parenting = homeschooling, yes. Have others made such a claim, yes.

Sorry, but I won't take personal responsibility for the beliefs and claims of others.

okay then, if you will give us your definition of homeschooling then the rest of us can determine based on that definition if we homeschool of not. from what i have seen of your definition i do indeed homeschool my children.

More proof that you don't even read what we post.

YOUR DESCRIPTION OF HOMESCHOOLING is exactly the same as MY DESCRIPTION OF PARENTING. So if we are to use your totally whacked out definition, yes, parenting = homeschooling. If we use the definition that everyone else on the planet except for you uses, then I am parenting, PKA is parenting, you are parenting, and none of us are homeschooling. You can't have it both ways. Either your definition of homeschooling applies to everyone for you, or it applies to noone. You can't say your definition only applies to you.
