What do you assign to Mordor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

People who assume that families choosing to homeschool their children must be freakish mistfits or evil child-abusers. Especially including the very shaded news coverage that sometimes appears with regard to homeschoolers.

Though it's rather fun when someone makes that comment to me (assuming that I couldn't possibly be one of the crazy people in that oddball movement) and I get to look at them with a deadpan face and say, "But I was homeschooled for most of elementary through high school." That usually sets them backpedaling in a hurry.

But actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff.
