The highlight of the week was a birthday party. I met someone who tore into me because I was homeschooling my kids and without provocation, explained to me that I was where I was in life because of my conventional education and I should be thankful for it rather than trying to change the conventions. On my argument that the world has changed in the last 30 years, it was met by the argument that the sun/moon are the same and we were far ahead of our parents, so our kids would be ahead of us as well - that is no change. I was overwhelmed by the vehemence and was left wondering what provoked it especially when I had not even tried to justify our choices.
