- These people are dangerous when they get together for their own conferences.
- They shouldn't be allowed to assemble
- Can't the city/state government ban their get-togethers?
- Homeschool parents belong at a Home & Garden Expo not an Educational Expo
- What do they talk about at the Expo since they are not REAL teachers?
- Why is it called a Home Educators Expo since they are not educators?
- What would curriculum vendors attend something for homeschoolers?
- Why would colleges ever pay to exhibit at a homeschool convention?
- Dr. Wile and Dr. Guffanti are probably fake doctors
- The Expo speakers and attendees are all right-wing fanatics
- The curriculum at these homeschool fairs is outdated and archaic
- The Homeschool Clinic is for people that need to be cured of homeschooling
- There would be no variety in a homeschool Variety Show
- Homeschool parents are not qualified to discuss special needs.
- After the Expo, homeschoolers will go back to their bunkers
Maybe they should be comedians instead of teachers, eh?
So let's just talk about diversity, open-mindedness, and inclusiveness here. Or... let's not, and then maybe we'll be 'true' American teachers.
Yes, I'm aware that there are many teachers that do not share the above view points. In fact, despite the fact that I am a narrow-minded, right-wing, outdated homeschooling fanatic living in a bunker, I actually think that the category 'teachers' includes a wide variety of people with a variety of lifestyles and philosophies, many of whom do a fine job educating the troublesome lot of miscreants they are handed each year.
Oh gosh, I'm just ROFLMAO thinking of myself as a radical right-wing bunker person... sorry this blog post is abruptly terminated due to gales of laughter engulfing the blogger...

We're laughing too over here! You know I had public school teachers (at least 3)grab me in the halls of academe and whisper in my ear, "Don't ever tell anyone I said this, but GET Your Kid OUT of Public schools and back into home school." So they are not all that way though I think the intolerance is on the increase. When we started out only liberal hippies home schooled their kids. Sigh. The good old days.
LOL! They'd really flip their lids at unschooling (where my research lies these days). Whatever. It's hard to have much respect for that system or it's results. Especially since the No Child Left Behind crap made public school almost exclusively teaching to the test.
I have a couple friends who unschooled all the way through and are now unschooling their own kids. Amazingly enough, they are pretty balanced, intelligent adults ;) My kids seems to do best when we have a bit of structure to the day, even if it is very loose and flexible, and some defined learning goals.
I think the public in general is more accepting of homeschooling than 20 years ago, but the educational establishment is getting more and more nervous about it, especially as their system is obviously crumbling!
