Someone posted a question last week which was critical of ONE persons home schooling methods. Why did this question attract so much vitriol? It was as if some people find it impossible to believe that ONE home schooler could possibly be less than wonderful at homeschooling. Why did these people find it difficult to accept that ONE particular homeschooler might be unsatisfactory?We have some teachers, journalists, mechanics, doctors, mechanics etc etc, who are not that great so surely the same must apply to some homeschoolers.3 hours and only 3 answers. Where are all the homeschoolers who were slating a poster last week?

The danger of a home schoolers is that they may pass on to children ideas and attitudes that are at least inappropriate and at the worst dangerous to the child's future development. After all an inefficient plumber can fix a leak he missed the last time but once you implant an idea in a child's mind it takes root and grows.
