I haven’t talked much about the H word in the last year or so. There’s a very good reason for it. I was sick and tired of all the crap. I was tired of the labeling. I was tired of feeling the need to explain or defend my choices. I didn’t want to offend anyone or make them feel I thought less of them because they chose a different path. I was also having a hard time finding a way to talk about something that was so much a part of who I am and what I believe without it sounding either self righteous or contrite. So I removed my old posts and chose to ignore a very large part of who I am and what I believe. It was a mistake. I think my dwindling posts and general lack of enthusiasm for my blog attests to that.

It doesn’t matter if I want the label, and stereotypes, and judgments, or not. I am a homeschooler. I was a homeschooler before I even knew the word homeschooler and I can’t imaging myself in any other role. I truly believe that knowledge and education is not the responsibility of the local school board. It is your responsibility to educate yourself, as you see fit, by whatever means you have available. It is a parents responsibility to ensure their children have the skills to seek out and effectively utilize those means, for their own self-chosen goals. So, I’m putting my homeschool category back on my site and I will be adding to it when and if I have something to post. If you have a problem with that, I’ll find a nice place for you in between the mail order brides and the Viagra ads in my spam queue. Have a nice day.
