EJCMom Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Who is Voddie Baucham, and why would he say that if he did? ETA: I'm assuming Voddie Baucham is a he and not a she. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdalley Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I'd like to see a direct quote. That doesn't sound like him at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shellydon Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 That doesn't sound right to me -- his church has lots of homeschoolers and they discuss among themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRAAB Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Who the heck is Voddie Baucham? and why in the world should I care???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i.love.lucy Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Voddie is a preacher of a family integrated church in Houston. He wrote Family Driven Faith. He's a neat guy, I can't imagine him saying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flopsymopsy Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 He is a dynamic speaker. I have heard him speak a couple times. I am trying to think in what context he would say something like that??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I like Voddie Baucham. He is pastor of a Family Integrated Church in Georgia (I believe) and a homeschooler. If you've never read anything by him, I highly recommend The Ever-Loving Truth. My guess is that he was voicing his opinion based on the amount of comparing that goes on among homeschool families. Our homeschool group pretty much takes that approach. No one much talks about what they use unless directly asked because it just leads to the stupid comparing game.

Kathleen in VA Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I don' have a direct source for that, just something I read on a blog somewhere. Really??? Because I just cannot imagine.... *******should add a huge disclaimer that I am not really a fan of VB or that general movement******* Why bother bringing this up if you cant' quote him or the blog and you are willing to admit you are not a fan of his? It comes off as trying to start a false rumor to discredit someone just because you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kesmom Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 I don't care at all. I just found it kind of laughable because most hs moms love to talk curriculum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisy Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Raising Arrows mentioned it not too long ago but didn't link to it. http://www.raisingarrows.net/2011/06/homeschooling-the-littles-2011-2012-school-year/ I'm not seeing what the big deal is though. So what? It isn't like he said, "Thou Shalt Not Speak of Curriculum." LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kesmom Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Are you for real? Yes. :) I have crumbs on my kitchen floor, a mountain of laundry to fold, and a lot of excitement about attending a curriculum fair tomorrow. And I make mistakes, for which I apologize.

Bang!Zoom! Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) I'm glad you brought it up. I'd never heard of him before. Cool guy. The link which was embedded up a few posts to a mom blog says this: I understand his reasoning (we might use a particular curriculum in a different way and for a different purpose and thus receive much different results than if you were to use the same thing), but I also see merit in offering ideas so that others can see what is working and what is not working for you in order to aid in their curriculum decisions. I'm wondering if this means it (discussing curriculum choices) can be a barrier builder to families if they are just learning the field of choices. It's probably best for each family to consider the needs of each child and home... and go from there rather than be advised of the superiority of one curriculum over another. That is kinda what I get of it. It's preventive respect at work. Edited August 4, 2011 by one*mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Perhaps it is, but you haven't even established that it's true.:glare: Are you for real? She has well over 100 posts, been registered since 2009, has 3 littles with curriculum listed in her signature. She's as really real as any of the rest of us. Really.
