A Quick Note

I've noticed there are have been times when we are getting dangerously close to being judgmental (or coming across as such) to others both involved in public and home schooling settings in our blogs and notes. I'm glad everyone is able to voice their personal experience, and I want this to continue. But I also need us to be considerate of others and keep in mind that there is NO ONE RIGHT WAY or RIGHT CURRICULUM FOR ALL PEOPLE.

So, just a reminder to all, it is okay to mention things that have been noted for personal or negative educational value in a person's experience and even why this may have been so for them. However, I want to be sure that we do so in a way which is not offensive to others. Remember, each educational choice is personal. No choice is more right than another. Each person, and child, has different needs and is at different levels. Please keep these things in mind as you add your thoughts to this blog. Also, please remember that this is an educational blog, and although most of us home school at least some of our kids at least part of the time, it is not strictly a home schooling blog. Education, as a whole, needs to be widely accepted and respected.

Thank You.
