I just wrote an article that turned 5 pages long!
http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art45409.aspUnfortunately I wasn't able to include every stereotype my friends and I could think of in the article. If I had the article would have taken up most of the homeschooling site <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
In this article I dealt with what we felt were the top 8 stereotypes:
1.Homeschooled students aren't properly socialized.
2.Homeschooling parents are fundamentalist religious zealots.
3.Homeschooling is reactionary and losing steam.
4.Homeschooling is expensive.
5.One parent must stay-at-home.
6.Parents need teacher certification to properly educate their children.
7.�Special needs� kids need school services.
8.Homeschooled children cannot attend university or college.
I would love to open the lines of communication and learn how you feel about the above stereotypes (please specify if you are or aren't a homeschooler) and if you have encountered any stereotypes that weren't listed.
Thanks!
