Wow, maybe she should come hang out at our homeschool group. In our group, I have met a mom who is a lawyer, another who is an M.D., an Engineer, several who are writers (one of which has taught on the college level) and more than one Elementary or High School teacher, plus mom's who majored in accounting or business. In fact, the mom's who graduated from High School and have not attended at least some college are quite rare in our group.
The other shocker is that not all of them are regular church attenders. The Homeschool movement has moved from the fringes and into the mainstream. I suppose that is what terrifies them. How can children be taught what to think if they aren't sent to the proper education centers to be told what to think? The worst part of it is that I am teaching my children to actually think for themselves and to express their positions articulately.
