Home schooling is being bashed by uninformed people who continually repeat myth. I do say that home schooling works for us. We would never have chosen it if the public or private school systems hadn't failed miserably. "The child that doesn't learn is the child who's parent hasn't done their job" Mythology repeated by the NEA and teachers nationwide. People lie.

You are twisting my words to suit your message. It would be crap to say that "the child never does a subject he doesn't want", but those are your words and don't remote resemble what I said.

Try reading the research before repeating what you've been taught by the public school system. Try getting out of the box they've stuffed you in.

I'm not saying that home schooling is for everyone or that if you don't choose it, then I'm superior. You are choosing to believe what you want regardless of truth. Try to see others who are different than you as just that, different. Not better or worse, just different. We are all individuals and we all have our own experiences. Just because someone's experience is different than yours does not mean they must be lying about it, it just means it was different.

I'm happy for all the people for whom the system works. I think that it doesn't work for many and if you can't recognize that one size does not fit all in school as in everything else, perhaps your learning was stunted at a very early age.
