To Watch or Not to Watch?
|
Why would anyone watch something that takes
the most negative of extremes and paints this as a picture of
homeschooling? For me, the only purpose it would serve is to make
my blood boil. But, then again, I want to make an educated decision about any media attention that is brought to my lifestyle. I can't really say if it's a fair assessment unless I am willing to sit through it. I'm going to record it on DVR, but I haven't decided if I will watch it or not. Not that I'm a Dr. Phil fan, but it just disappoints me that someone with some, obvious, sense of intelligence could put this kind of spin on something that, overwhelmingly, is a very positve, healthy thing for children and families in general. I can't understand why he would not give a balanced view of the topic if the objective is to educate the public about homeschooling? All I can figure is that - that is not his objective. I don't hang on every word that comes out of the man's mouth....not by any stretch of the imagination. I rarely record his show...only if nutrition or exercise are involved usually because those topics are of interest to me. I don't care for his sweeping statements overall...seems like he has this pat answer for everything and I don't believe that there is a pat answer for everything in life. My personal opinion is that he thinks a little too highly of himself - or at least of his opinions. But... I'm still debating...to watch or not to watch? That is the question. |
