Despite homeschoolers sharing over and over how their children are involved in activities with others and telling people over and over about various famous people who did not go to school, or who spent little time in school, why do naysayers still not get it?

Thomas Edison was homeschooled--it gave him the opportunity to learn the basics then read, read, read and experiment and bring wonderful inventions. Abraham Lincoln did not go to school. Benjamin Franklin only spent one year of his childhood in school. Neither one of the Presidents Roosevelt went to school. There are plenty of others.

How can they keep playing the same thing over and over that homeschooled kids don't get any socialization? And that their lack of contact with same-aged peers (compared to schooled kids) is a problem when a plethora of evidence from history and modern research shows that it isn't?

Willys cynical thought for the day;

"Just say no" works against addiction like; "have a nice day" does for freaking depression!

She does not have thunder thighs; she develops a Child Rest Area Facility.

She is not talkative; she is a Conversational Opportunist.

She does not get lost all the time; she is Deceptively Directionally Challenged.

You do not buy her a drink; you make a down payment on a recreational facility.

She does not fart and belch; her closest pet is Gastronomically Expressive.

She is not a gold digger; she prefers Economically Differential Relationships.

She does not have a rich daddy; she is the poster child for the "Happily Ever After Foundation"

She is not afraid of lack of commitment; she is Poligamously Challenged.

She's not a low-life c@cksucker; she just prefers me.

imagine two kids, they've been good all year, one from a wealthy family and the other from a poor family. the kid from the wealthy family gets what he wants at christmas and the kid from the poor family gets almost nothing for christmas.

is it fair that santa only gives to the wealthy kids, while the kids from the poor families are dissappointed and heart broken.
