If I've known a few people from a particular country acting in a certain way, I'm not going to go so far to think that all people from that country are that way then go around being prejudicial and turning others against them.
I would never try to tell somebody it was a bad idea to do something I knew little about. I also would not go around spouting my opinion on some issue as fact, especially if I had not taken the time to make sure my opinion was fact. If I'm wrong, I'm sending out a lot of incorrect information.
I would also hope others were the same. I would hate it if someone, with their limited experience, told me that teaching was a bad idea or that teachers are just awful. I've taught in the schools. I've been there and have more hands-on experience with that than they do. I would naturally object.
Is it right to put down things we know little about and pretend our opinion is fact? If not, how come it seems to be okay for people to do that with homeschooling?
