Overwhelmed by Negative Internet Blogs

I've been a little overwhelmed lately -- online, that is, reading links that Doc is posting. The uninformed, opinionated, closed-minded people *really* get to me. I have to quit reading and hyperfocus on us for awhile. If I started responding to every one of those closed-minded people (I want to use a harsher word, but I'm going to be polite and show more class than they do) I'd get nothing done. And they're just not worth my time. Nothing I say will matter to them, anyway.

What I can do is promote homeschooling locally, especially through example. That I am willing to continue to do.

I also will give up trying to convince my SIL, who teaches fourth grade, that homeschooling isn't crazy. She seems to think that it is okay for us, because she knows I will do what is necessary to make sure DS gets a good education. It's all the other homeschoolers she worries about. So anyone who homeschools who happens to read this blog, she's worried about you. lol She'll never get it.

I do a good job homeschooling. I research like crazy, I present things in a manner that suits my DS's learning style. I encourage, support and teach him by being positive. As good as I am though (tooting my own horn here!) I am human, I make mistakes, and I have tons of worries. Isn't that typical of all homeschooling parents?

We all do the best we can. We all work on meeting our children's emotional, physical and educational needs.

I'm just not going to worry about the uninformed out there. I'll just worry about my sweet son for now.
