Dear commenter known as Breed7,

How can you possibly know what this mother’s homeschool environment is like? Based on her informative post and her graceful reply to your insults I would assume that she provides rules, expectations, and discipline. Any parent that takes the time to help her child, homeschool her child, and help other parents that may be going through the same struggles is as good a parent as you will EVER find. Parents that choose to send their kids to school are not bad parents, they are just choosing another lifestyle that is right for them. There is no reason to downcast others for their willingness to take their child’s learning and socialization into their own hands – especially when they have special needs. The education system will NEVER be able to offer this child what this caring mother CAN and DOES. Think about it.

While their undignified comment was certainly not worthy of any response, yours is spot on! Keep up the great work, Mama!

Sir or Ma’am,

I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt, (which you did not give me) and assume you only read the title of my post before you decided to rapidly type your opinions about my son and myself. I’m not sure if your issue is with homeschooling, a diagnosis of Sensory Processing Disorder, or both.

I myself was also very skeptical about the legitimacy of SPD. But I do know this. After implementing some simple therapy techniques like the Wilbarger Brushing Protocol and doing lots of heavy work, my son was able to function again. He got his life back. I know other people will doubt the validity of SPD, but I also know I will not let my pride or fear of others’ opinions keep me from doing what is best for my son.

What do I expect from homeschooling my own children? I expect my children to be tactful enough to disagree with others in a constructive, compassionate and logical way. I have four overarching goals for my children educationally. I want them to LOVE learning and see the benefit of continuing that over a lifetime. I want them to know HOW to learn in favorable and unfavorable situations. I want them to know how to think CRITICALLY because the world is full of lies and half truths that we’re all susceptible to believing. And I want them to know how to COMMUNICATE effectively which includes logical thought processes and loving concern.

You should know that you are writing a homeschool graduate (K-12th, Baby!). It prepared me for life; scholastically, socially and spiritually. Scholastically: I am a college graduate with a 4.0 GPA and many honors to my name. Socially: I have no trouble making friends with all sorts of people, regardless of age, gender, or differing opinions. Spiritually: I know that my worth and your worth come from what God has done for us; namely, He created us and took the punishment of our rebellion against Him, onto Himself. And because I know this, I completely forgive you for your unkind words towards me and my family. I’ve been forgiven WAY more. Trust me.
