Thank you for your advice(this just confirmed what we were thinking) I just wanted to make sure I wasn't being rash. Thanks again for responding--for some reason I do not get much response on here.:confused:

Where we live our kids can play p.s. sports if they pay the $150.00 fee/sport like everyone else. They do offer a need based scholarship program but I am afraid that if we apply for/accept it that we open ourselves up to scrutiny by the school district. What do you think? Am I being too independent? Our kid would be able to play without the scholarship-- we would just need to tighten our belts a bit.

Okay, so where we live allows us to participate in high school sports as long as we pay the fee ($150) that everyone else does. They do offer a need based scholarship, but I am hesitant to accept their money. I think I am afraid that accepting a scholarship would open us up to more scrutiny from the school district. What do you all think--am I being too independent. Our son will be able to play with or without the scholarship. We will just tighten our belts and find the $.:bigear:

My Ds(15) is going to talk to Lars Larson today on his radio show. Lars is broadcasting live from our county fair and when my son emailed him about the city ordinance we have that prohibits chickens in the city limits(even for 4H and FFA projects) he asked him to come and tell his story. Last year my son did the whole city council thing trying to get the ordinance changed with no success. :D Proud mama

What is the name of the study, please?:)

I also try to teach kids (mine and babysitting/nannying), "If it doesn't belong to you, you don't TOUCH it!" I have this policy because of all of the "adults" I have met that don't understand this concept. I think this policy of having my children play in others' yards when the owners are not present would confuse this issue.
:iagree: I believe that kids need to learn that even though that is shiny, fun looking play equipment it does not belong to them. I do have to admit that I would like to take my neighbors shiny, fun-looking sports car for a spin though!!!!:lol:

:grouphug: I am not very fun when doing school either! Try not to compare yourself to those VBS teachers though--they are doing this for one week for a couple of hours a day with children that they are sending home at the end of the day. They also have a very well-planned curriculum to follow. Even they would be less fun if they had to teach the same kids every day, all year, keep them with them when school is over and come up with their own great ideas! Hang in there!

We live in a neighborhood of "trailer"(manufactured) homes where the houses have been put on foundations on their own lots. They are all landscaped nicely and have garages. Our value on our home has increased more than $30,000 in 11 years--and yes, some of the homes in our neighborhood have sold in the last year and realized an increase in value. One couple in our neighborhood are a realtor/contractor and they are sold on the whole idea of manufactured homes on a foundation. However, we are surrounded by mountains and do not get twisters!

My Dad just passed 7 weeks ago at age 67 from complications of Post polio syndrome. He was such an amazing man who started 2 businesses, was married to my Mom for 40 years and 1 day, and raised 5 children all from his wheelchair! He was never handicapped in the eyes of those who knew him. I miss his quiet strength. He was/still is such an example to everyone who ever knew him. The one thing that has kept me going is knowing that I will be walking with him in heaven some day!!!!

I shoot! In fact, I got a new 357 revolver for Mother's Day last year. I love being a mom to 2 boys!:D

My DH is black. I am white. Our children are both. We are all HUMAN!!!! I hate that we have this whole issue still and IMHO I believe that all of the "unsocialized";) homeschoolers we have come in contact with are far more accepting of differences in others than the typical ps kids. Just a thought!

:lol:
Someone on the old boards once said (forgive me that I don't remember who!), "Oh, my husband takes care of socializing the children. He comes home for lunch, corners them in the bathroom, takes their lunch money, then gives them a swirlie." This is my stock answer when someone pushes my buttons for too long. :)Usually, I just say that we take care of it with groups and sports.
:iagree:This is just hilarious!!!
Once another baseball mom pressed me about socialization by saying "well your boys certainly seem to be okay in social settings" in a snarky voice. So, I proceeded to say "not to bad for kids who are locked in the dark cellar alone all day, huh?" I am pretty sure I was pretty sarcastic sounding and it really ended the conversation.

We have even had lots of rain here on the sunny side of Oregon! Rain, rain go away!
