lovemyboys Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Oh my, I'm in the same situation here - most of the local homeschoolers we've met are unschoolers (and very, very relaxed unschoolers at that) & are quite vocal & almost pushy about the "superiority" of their method. Any new homeschoolers that join the group are set upon immediately as potential converts. In fact, we've only been on one outing with them because of this (when they found out that we actually use curriculum, they just clucked about how "new" I was at this, LOL). This has been my experience several times. One mom proudly announced how inclusive her group was .... right before she pounced on several people who used curriculum. Fortunately, most of the time we mix and match with all kinds of homeschoolers. We don't "segregate" based on philosophy or religion, but we do back away from a group or individuals who are aggressively promoting their agenda with little to no regard for our ability to freely choose what works for our family. :001_huh: :lol: at the similarity with dc. Mine might be voting for the all-day-video curriculum too, if the option existed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookfiend Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Do ANY two homeshoolers actually do the same thing? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatCyndiGirl Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Do I allow my kids to associate with homeschooled kids of a different method? Why, MOST CERTAINLY NOT!!!! We made a decision as a family many years ago that we would simply NEVER allow our children to be exposed to ANYONE who doesn't use the WTM!!! How horrifying to even consider!! :lol: :tongue_smilie: :auto: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 LOL I meant statement of faith. It was funny, but I can't take credit for it being on purpose. I don't know what I typed that... maybe because faith and math both end in 'th' ? LOL I really don't know. lol I did edit. But I agree...people have very strong feeling about math curric...:) Library Lover, "signing statements of math"? That is hilarious! I never thought about it before, but it does seem like people have almost religious beliefs about math instruction. Maybe that's why I'm having a hard time figuring out which math is "right" over on the high school board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first read "statement of math" yesterday, I just figured it was the latest trend in homeschooling and that I'd probably be confronted with it soon. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
