Homeshooling in Sunny Florida
Mar. 8, 2007
Another horified pediatrician

One would think that in south FL, a pediatrician would see more than a few homeshoolers in their practice.

I had to take Nick in due to severe chest congestion and wheezing. There was a retired doc that saw him who was helping the reg. doc out.

The doc had never met any homeschoolers down here! WOW! So he actually sat down with us and had a zillion questions like 'Do you report to the state for academics?' and the like.

 I answered him and he was astounded in how many of us there were! He asked if we got a refund from the state tax becuase we don't send our kids to public school and I said no, of course.

 He told me to write the senator and get a movement going since we shouldn't have to pay since we don't use the institution.

 I never thought of that! I think I'll look into it!

The session ended with me asking him if he had any more questions and giving him access to more info. if he so wanted and a shake of the hands. I felt like it was my office for 10 minutes:)
