There are many people who still think this same way, though, and any decision to homeschool will be questioned, ridiculed, and analyzed by those around you. If you are considering homeschooling, there are many things to consider before you take the plunge.
People operate within their experiential frame of reference.
Their opinions are based upon any experiences they've had, and are distorted by their emotions. People will question and doubt anything that does not agree with their previous beliefs, and it often takes nothing short of a miracle to change their minds about things about which they've already formed opinions. And, usually, they either totally agree with it or they totally disagree with it. On the plus side, the supporters of homeschooling do just that. If you are brave, and willing, this could be the most rewarding journey of your life.
