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.

Where does it say all parent in
PumpkinAngel
Perhaps because it would be logical to do so, especially in a debate?
PumpkinAngel
Hmm....don't see the word spirituality in post 809 or you asking her belief in spirituality in that post either.

"Way, way OT"
Oops, post 782 (not 809).
BTW, here it is again:
"Ah, but clearly not everyone agrees on the definition of every "common" term. Hence the reason why semantics and interpretation are often an issue, particularly wrt debate. As I have stated on many ocassions, IMHO, there is a certain degree of subjectivity and/or personal interpretation involved here, which often tends to be the underlying source of the more heated debates.
Does everyone accept the same defintion wrt the following terms/concepts/ideas:
God, love, evil, sin, truth, spirituality, art, beauty, murder, morals, morality, immorality, marriage, evolution, expensive, funny, appropriate, inappropriate, tasteful, distasteful, conformity, nonconformity, etc, etc, etc?
Likewise does everyone accept the definitions/distinctions/differences between the following:
daycare vs. school, daycare vs. preschool, toddlers vs. preschool aged children, dcp's vs. teachers, breastfeeding vs. ebm via bottle feeding, full day preschool vs. full time preschool, cribs vs. cages, othercare vs. parental and extended family care, homeschooling vs. parenting, SAHM, WOHM, PTWOHM, private school vs. paraochial school, etc, etc, etc?
For instance, as a Pantheist/Evolutionist, I most certainly believe in God and/or a Higher Power. However, I am not religious, nor even a Christian. Therefore, most people would inaccurately say/claim that I don't really believe in God, seeing as I don't believe in a religious, "Christian" God.
However, I would wholeheartedly agree. As is my God given right LOL :)"
I'm telling you, classic.

"Because I say so. Prove it isn't so."
Ok. My sister is a parent (7 year old twin boys) and doesn't homeschool.
"but what does it have to do with this subject?"
Did you read post 782:

Since you haven't given your definition on homeschooling or what sets it apart from the exact same thing that others are doing, yet they call it parenting....the two terms are interchangeable since they were all able to answer your little questions, therefore no one is lying.

"If there is no concrete, universally accepted definition of "homeschooling," then what has anyone here said that is untrue?"
For that matter, wouldn't the claim that:
Parenting = homeschooling fall into the category of a "concrete, universally accepted definition"?
