I don't agree with it...

So Ive been thinking allot about the decision we made, you know the one to home school our kids?...

I think this has come about from the fact that someone told me they don't agree with it...well I don't turn around and say I don't agree with you sending your kids to school, I also don't turn around and tell you everything that i 'don't agree' with in respects with your lifestyle choices so why is it when it comes to Home Ed even your nearest and dearest think they have the right to voice their, somewhat hurt full, opinions.

Yes yes everyone is entitled to their opinion & I respect that but I also respect that everyone has the way to live their life as they choose and that the beauty of the world - each to their own and all that. What works for some wont work for others.

I don't mind answering questions about our choices I guess but its not like i go around saying 'so why is *enter name here* going to school?' is it!?

I think I'm just ranting like this because of word choice here - don't agree with it?...not i wouldn't choose it or its not for me but I don't agree with it.

I don't know its like to me saying you don't agree with something makes it seem like a bad thing, something terrible, something inhumane - not a basic human right, the right to educate your child how you so please.

And really I think the thing that bugs me most is that people say these kinds of things without even knowing the first thing about home education, so how can you not agree with something you don't have a clue about. Your judgement is based on pre conceived ideas and notions that have been stirred up by the media and what not.

In short before you tell me that what I am doing is wrong, not natural, a preposterous idea etc etc, why not try asking about our reasons first or better yet DO YOUR RESEARCH!
