b/c accusing someone of being a deliberate liar is a negative... plus i had already stood corrected, admitted i had misunderstood and misrepresented her.

This isnt really worth discussing im gonna move on. :)

too many parents do depend on teachers to provide the caregiving that they should. my mother and dh both have spent years teaching in middle elementary, and coaching a few children each year to bathe more frequently and talk to their parents about getting deodorant, and the like, which is well outside what they should have to do. but that is neither here nor there, because even if all parents were giving their children everything they need in the way of hygeine and moral instruction, their children still would need guidance, caregiving at school, if nothing else for the same reason you don't leave a 6 or 7 or 8 year-old home alone, but also because getting along in a group is not something that a parent can teach a child completely at home or particularly by the time she turns 6. children need adult caregiving--supervision and guidance--long after age 5, no matter how well their parents have raised them up until that point.

can you post a link, please. So, is what you're saying then is, yes or no, that SAH & WOH children are markedly different in the final outcome (outcome meanting they have reached the age of eighteen)

And, if yes, exactly what are those marked differences. Would someone on the street be able to tell the diffence at a glance, or would they have to sit down for coffee with them to notice it?

Also, are there marked differences along the way as they grow? Again, if yes, what would those be?

How would it change the way you choose to raise your children?

I don't have the patience to read all her posts, but the impression I'm getting is that she's more of a WAH, trying to put together a living through various activities at her ranch, and all into passing down that tradition.

sheesh...quiteaccussing me of things iam not doing i have nothing to hide or be ashamed i know what i said and i stand by it. >>


Sheesh yourself...


Post 205: Oh..i disagree, perhaps ask your child's teacher if she is a dcp. A day care provider is not a educator a day care provider is providing child care to your child while you in general are working and unable to provide that care for your child...a teacher is a educator who educates our children, period. Im shocked that you can not see the difference here. I hope to see a teacher speak up on the fact you consider her a day care provider...


Post 227:That is a no brianer...teachers EDUCATE children they are not child care providers next question...

but you are baffling those of us who would want and do the same things for our children regardless of our work status. you aren't the first person i have seen claim that what you want and do is dependent on how easy or hard it is for you to do it, but there are a fair number of parents whose values and ideals and goals and choices aren't dependent on ease of implementation, but instead on sturdier stuff.
