Mary Ellen -

What a straightforward cry of the heart! And true as true can be. You have cut right through to the heart of things, where I would likely get slogged down in arguments.

I'll have to figure out a way to send this to a few homeschooling friends, and a few with kids in public school too.

One argument in favor of public schools that carries some weight with me is their resources for the care and teaching of children with disabilities. Yet, from your post about vacationing in Maine, I gather that you've had some homeschooling experience with that. I'd like to learn more.

Am new to "Substack." Don't know even what a "Restack" is. Fear to click it. Regina Doman sent me your way. (I would say that this post alone is worth the price of admission, but I'm still in my seven-day free trial.)

Thanks for this good post!

Or is it a post? I see that the way to submit my thoughts here is to click "Post." Hm. What did you click to submit this entry? Ai yi. Ask me if I know what I'm doing.

But I know what I like, and I like what you wrote here! Thanks.

Thank you so much for the kind words Robert. I am fairly new to this myself but you can restack which is like sharing the post. You can also share it via email and social media by copying the link from your browser. Thanks again for commenting, I really appreciate it.
