I particularly at the notion that ANYONE on this thread was involved in a "we all seemed to agree" moment with NEVERENOUGHWDW.
I was gonna say the same thing....

I apologize Eric. I did not intend to come off as angry. I was not even addressing your comment so much as referencing that as homeschoolers we are very often subjected to judging from others who assume we are making the wrong choice and yet people would be very offended if we were to turn the tables. Again, I apologize. Tone is hard to read but my writing may very well have been more heated than necessary. I try very hard to be open and polite and I wouldn't want to create any hard feelings.
Diplomas..... if HS'ed through a state charter school, then a diploma is issued by the school system. Others, like my DS go through an accredited private correspondence school (we do not have cyber charters in GA). Some chose to take the GED. There might be other options that I'm not aware of.I do have some questions about it. Once your children complete high school, do they get a diploma? Not just a homeschool one, but one from the state? Do they get scholarship opportunities? Are universities accepting them?

Regarding safety..
When your children do leave home, and enter the world, how are you going to know whether can handle themselves, if they haven't had any real-life instances, with dangerous experiences? (I know most of your kids do activites with other kids that are safe)
First off, I want to say kuddos to all of your moms and dads who homeschool your children. That is very honorable thing to do. I've considered it, but I really don't think I'm cut out to do it. I'll be very honest, I love to time I have to myself every afternoon when the house is quiet and I don't think I could givet that up.

I must say I'm impressed. One thing I'll admit I'd been skeptical about was the teachers' knowledge of the subject matter -- do the teaching parents know enough to teach the academics? At least as far as English goes (since I can't detect your math and science and art skills from these posts ), almost all of the posts from teacher-parents are grammatically correct, which probably makes this one of the most literate threads on the DIS.
