This question really bugs me!!!!!!! I am so often hit with this as well as my husband and it really frustrates me. Are you kids really getting what they need? Are they being exposed to enough opportunities? Like what? Do you mean vulgarity, pornography, drugs, crude behavior, and the list could go on and on and on.
I won't get on my soap box here but if I wanted my kid to learn about premarital sex, evolution, disrespect for self -- authority-- and others, then surely I would have sent them to public school but I am NOT sorry that I want to protect them and keep them safe. I know that "not all schools are bad" but you know all schools have bad things that happen at them. And if you tell me that is not true then YOU ARE FOOLING YOURSELF. And also lying to yourself.
Anyways yes my kids are learning. I even got to watch them read in front of a crowd of 200+ and of course they were nervous---especially Lolly---but she did just as good as the 5th grader from Kingston---who was also very nervous. Things are going well and next week we get back into the swing of things after beeing off for a couple weeks for family time and VBS.

I have heard the "what about socialization" and I have heard "aren't you afraid you will miss the high school experience".........but when it was said, it was in a very ""I don't get homeschooling, help me understand"" kind of way.
My daughter is getting ready to take the CLEP test for Biology. It covers many things.........including evolution.
I told her answer them with truth. Even if the silly humans think it's wrong!
