Dr. Phil Article
I just read this article by a homeschooler who was an audience member for that Dr. Phil homeschooling episode.
Dr. Phil Article
I'm glad I didn't get picked, as I don't think I could've kept my mouth shut during the taping, and I would've come across as a crazy person. I'm watching tonight like one might watch a train wreck. I'm curious how badly Dr. Phil taints HSers images and the idea of HSing. I'm just beside myself with anger and a sense of betrayal. I toook psychology in college, the data supports homeschooling as a nurturing environment for children. Not only are the parents the ones to deal with all those changes during middle school years, but parents are able to support their children in a non-aggressive environment where the gangly teens aren't made fun of, no one is bullied, and the only knives and guns in a homeschool are under the control of the parents.
On a tangent- Nana took us to the Homeschooling Halloween Skating Party, and Daughter had a blast bouncing on those inflatables and running around like a crazy kid. When asked if she made any friends, she says, "They're all my friends." It was precious. I was so excited to go! With the one car, we're not able to attend a lot of these things, and this one was the biggest one we've heard about. It was nice to see how many homeschoolers there were in our county.
Daughter is doing much better in her potty habits, and has had more dry days than wet days, which makes it easier to go out now. So I'm slowly regaining my sanity and we're rebuilding trust in one another, which is always a good thing.
