It is a noble effort. I have patients who do that as well and I know how hard and rewarding it can be. I just don't think anyone should impose their choices on anyone else. Period. I've already said on previous posts I think children are overdiagnosed. I am just responding to one aspect of Eve's post that was missing from all the previous comments. I think we all need to be careful about overgeneralizing. I respect homeschooler’s choices to put all that time and energy into their children’s education. It is a noble effort.

I deleted the post explaining the mistake, as it is no longer necessary. I hope you don't mind. Second, TIV, I think I understand some of your objections to Eve's post, but I think you are being a bit harsh yourself. Even was pointing out some things that may be true about some people in our society. If the shoe fits. . . Do you think that any of her points have some validity? For example, do you think that homeschooling could be a good option for kids who don't quite fit the mold of public school expectations? Do you think that at least a few parents out there put their personal goals or their convenience ahead of their kids? Do you think that it's possible that kids who are simply a bit outside the norms are diagnosed with mental or emotional disorders? From personal experience I KNOW that he answer to all of these questions is a big, fat yes. These things don't have to be *universally* true to still be true.
