SingleAgain, I agree violence is never an answer, however I think (hopefully!) Lloyd Brown was just being cheeky with his/her suggestion. Anyways, I got a lot of objections, too, especially from my grandma who was homeschooled on a practically-deserted island, and therefore sees homeschooling as synonomous with isolation.
The important thing is to surround yourself with people who are on the same page as you. I am. I fully support homeschooling, and would still be doing it if I could. I have health problem's that make it difficult for me get out, and provide my daughter with the social opportunities she needs. If my health improves, I'm definitely homescholing her again. I've been thinking about this a great deal, lately, considering the problem's she's having, and how the school is dealing with it.
Find a homeschooling support group. If there are none in your area, you could start one yourself, or join an online homeschooling group. And don't feel like you have to defend your choice to homeschool. Typically, the people who oppose homeschooling already have their minds made up about it, and you're not likely to convince them, anyways.
