littleyellowspider,

How do you think it effected you? My daughter and her husband homeschool and are a very loving family. There are some parts of their way of thinking about homeschool that bother me, and I've wondered at times if they are being too restrictive with their children learning how the 'real world' thinks.

Are you in public school now? Do you feel like it helps you more to be in public school? Or did you like being homeschooled.

Do you have a pdoc and a psychologist who you can talk to about this.

My grandchildren, the oldest a girl 16, is growing up very compassionate and giving. She is thinking of doing missionary work when she is an adult because of the views she has been surrounded with from about age 5-6. Her parents are "born-again" ultra conservative Christians, who walk and talk that way of believing.

So my guess is, homeschooling is only as good as the parents involved in teaching and their views on mental illness. My thoughts about what my daughter thinks : "I don't believe my daughter and her husband believe in using drugs nor do they believe in mental illness as being something more than not having enough faith in Jesus to heal with prayer." Though she did say to me (about my own diagnosis of depression) was, If you need medicine, use it, but don't use it as an excuss to not read your Bible. You read all kinds of other books..."

I believe in homeschool as long as it is working for everyone.

PM me if you want to talk about it with me. I'm a good listener.
