Joy is not any Joy to anyone. She’s a very hateful person. The only people who listen are those looking to justify being hateful. What a waste of a human life! I pity this person. Hasn’t this person done enough damage to society already. Please do the world a favor, remove her from public View.

That is well known that cash can make us free. But how to act if somebody does not have money? The one way only is to try to get the http://lowest-rate-loans.com or just small business loan.

The conversation came up about where the Obama girls would be educated once they move to DC. Discussion on public versus private schools ensued, until Behar, who, by the way, is a former school teacher, suggested that the girls be educated in the White House, in what she called a “Little House on the Prairie” way.

The problem is that it’s all in the hands of the parents, and society has no influence in that.. At regular schools there is a principle and board to whom the teacher is accountable to…

I know a lot of kids in the gifted community that ended up being home schooled because the public schools simply don’t accommodate them.We just want the best for our children. There are a million reasons people choose to home school…

This is the first time that I have been on this site. I am checking it out because a friend of mine told me about Beher’s comments and I wanted to see some of the public reactions to it. Oh, my friend told me today as we were having a T-Day performance by all our children, that are homeschooled. So, I’m very happy to see that most of you understand that home schooled children (and parents) are just like every other parent in America. We just want the best for our children. There are a million reasons people choose to home school. I totally agree that the women on the view are annoying but unfortunately they have the “floor” and it’s very hard to sit by and listen to anyone call your child “demented”. Maybe, it shouldn’t but it feels like a personal assult. So, to all of you who made intelligent comments about what home schooling truly is (a choice), I thank you!!

I homeschool my 8 year old son. He attended the second half of the year at a Charter school when he was in Kindergarten. It was miserable. I wanted to pull him out immediately but he wanted to finish the year. He had 5 and 6 year old kids threatening to cut his throat/go get a gun from Dad and kill him. That’s not to say all the kids were like that but because he was/is an intelligent and eloquent boy he tried to handle it by himself (we tried to get the teacher involved but she didn’t really have the time or ability to handle 28 kids). He doesn’t want to go back to a brick and mortar school anytime soon. He is very social–has plenty of kids in our neighborhood that he plays with regularly, is in karate and dance and swim lessons as well as attending our homeschool coop. He’s been on stage in plenty of musical productions that seat thousands. He’s gone to dances. He plays baseball. He loves video games, science and math. We go camping and take trips regularly. We’re always commented on at the bank or the store about how intelligent he is and how well behaved. We go on lots of field trips to places like the zoo, aquarium, art institute, natural history museum. He’s a very well adjusted little boy, not demented. He interacts daily with his younger brother. The neighbor kids that attend public and private school that he plays with influence some of the more disturbing questions that my son asks (like “Does Hillary Clinton go door to door killing babies?”). I’m just thankful my son knows he can come to me and talk with me anytime about anything. I believe that an involved parent makes the difference whether it’s schooling at home or out of the home. Joy’s comments were absurb (wasn’t Whoppi homeschooled? as are many celebrities). But then that show hasn’t interested me in years–sensationalist journalism at its finest.
