NG, I was harsh wasnt I? Like I told you privately, these threads always get the best of me because people always say the same things about how unsocialized the kids are....you just happened to bare the brunt of my aggravation this time...and it wasnt really directed at YOU....but towards everyone that says things like that, because whereas it USED to be like that more often than not, these days it isnt. People that say things like that without seeing how a good organization works make me feel like Im a crap mom because I dont let my daughter ride a school bus or sit in a lunchroom full of kids everyday.
My daughters group include both religious and non religious curriculum. I didnt have any "fears" about her being corrupted, my fear was her actual education. The government school system still hasnt learned how to adequately deal with gifted children, which Amanda is and I wasnt having her go thru the same things I went thru since I was the same way. A homeschooled child has a way bigger advantage because they are not stuck just learning the things that are taught in a particular grade. If she sucks at math (like I did and like she did for awhile) she can work on one level of math while advancing in the subjects she excels in such as history and science. AND she can have the time she needs to really be able to grasp whatever fundamental she's lacking at.
You know I got nothing but love for ya!!!! ( can I have an each hand cookie?)
