I also remember her telling me her name was really Cookie. She was such a great student and a sweet girl - it sounds like she hasn't changed a bit:) Keep up the good work, mama bear!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04339643338071382257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139814941566752118.post-31682404566836005812008-03-11T11:32:00.000-07:002008-03-11T11:32:00.000-07:00Paul is working on a paper right now for his PhD a...Paul is working on a paper right now for his PhD about home school & stereotypes. I got the privilege of proof reading it. Some of the research out there on socialization & stereotypes people have is very very interesting.<BR/><BR/>I think its pretty hard to study socialization because you have to operationally define what exactly healthy socialization consists of, and also you have a difficult population to study-the schools will participate in studies because it gets them grant kick backs, but not for students who aren't enrolled, and a lot of home schoolers are somewhat or greatly "underground" because of social stigma so they aren't jumping up & down for a chance to participate in a research study. It makes it hard to find a random sample of home schoolers.Jennifer @ Fruit of My Handshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11479983078312955832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139814941566752118.post-32333395959070524982008-03-10T13:16:00.000-07:002008-03-10T13:16:00.000-07:00Brilliant, my dear.

We have home educated for thirteen years, have one high school graduate, and have heard so much blah, blah, blah about "s" that it makes my head spin. The funny thing is, at this point in my life, when confronted with "s", I simply point to my children and say, "Talk to them". <BR/><BR/>Works wonders.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14830175253251435851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139814941566752118.post-49628379287365423952008-03-09T19:44:00.000-07:002008-03-09T19:44:00.000-07:00Well I will look forward to the next post of homes...Well I will look forward to the next post of homeschooling and socialization!An Ordinary Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497066145696617241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139814941566752118.post-56696947884720377332008-03-08T13:26:00.000-08:002008-03-08T13:26:00.000-08:00I know what you mean though.

I must admit, I haven't always viewed homeschooling kindly because of some bad experiences with a VERY few I've come across in primary callings. After your post, I realize that I need to instead see the love and care that went into their mother's choice to teach them at home. Bravo.

It is very unfortunate that you were made to feel less then because you made a decision which is right for your family. I always begin the feel angry when heartless words are exchanged between women because of feeling threatened that they have not made the same decision. I can't say enough about how much I admire you and adore you. You don't owe any one an explanation, as I don't either. We're all doing the best for our babes, and that is all that matters. I had to admit it is a charged subject, and I understand your wanting to have a dialog going. I think it's hard for women to share their opinions, whether they agree or disagree, because it's that same thing..... no one wants to feel badly about choices they have made... and they shouldn't have to. You are wonderful. Period.Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497823064126116308noreply@blogger.com
