Right, what ever! And I'll post what ever I feel like by the way.

No need to bold it, I got it the first time, even with my public school education. And I find it as sad the 2nd time as I did the first.

Oh and if adults are meaner to each other than kids are, then why didnt any of my husband's coworkers make fun of the fact that he cant walk? Why did only the kids do that? And why is it that the neighborhood kids make fun of me being deaf, but the adults do not?

bump to get this back on topic.

When young children make fun of other peoples disabilities, it is because they do know any better and that reflects on their parents much more than the child. Most young kids are curious about differences in people. They learn to be judgmental from the parents. Adults however ridicule each other all the time. Personally, if my kids made fun of someone's disability, then we would have a long talk about it, if they did it again, I would wear them out for it.

........ PUBLIC SCHOOL SOCIALIZATION

"When I mention we are homeschooling our

children, we are without fail asked, '...But what

about socialization?'

Fortunately, we found a way our kids can receive the

SAME socialization that government schools provide:-)

"On Mondays and Wednesdays, I will personally corner

each child in the bathroom, give them each a wedgie

and take their lunch money. On Tuesdays and

Thursdays,I will make sure to tease our children for

not being in the 'in' crowd, taking special care to

poke fun at any physical abnormalities.

... Fridays will be 'Fad and Peer Pressure Day.' we

will all compete to see who has the coolest toys, the

most expensive clothes, and the loudest, fastest, and

most dangerous car.

"Every day, I will adhere to a routine of cursing,

being disrespectful, swearing in the hall, and

mentioning our weekend exploits with alcohol and

immorality.

And we have asked (our kids) to report us to the

authorities in the event we mention faith, religion,

or try to bring up any morals and values."

Yes it is.

Oh, and I have yet had a grown up came up to me, ask me to say a word, and then burst out in hysterics because my speech was so bad. Yeah, that actually only happened in public school. Hey, I was being 'socialized'.

and bump!

Do you honestly believe that adults do not ridicule each other? They do it all the time. For the most part, kids that do it just don't know any better, adults do it because they think its funny, and while kids at least do it openly, adults are much more apt to do it behind peoples backs. I don't care how one spins it, adults can be more coldhearted and cutthroat to each other than kids ever thought about being.

And it is something that is VERY commonplace in public schools. Do you feel our children benefit from this? And do you really think you are going to hear about it if your child teases another on the playground? Every time? So you think children witness their parents ridiculing others disabilities and they copy that behavior? I havent seen it from an adult yet. And I would have thought between me and my husband's disabilities we would have seen it by now.
