On one of my homeschooling groups, there is a buzz about an upcoming Dr. Phil show where he slams unschooling/homeschooling. I don't usually watch Dr. Phil and I probably won't watch his show on unschooling. Yesterday though, I did watch a few minutes while on the treadmill. He has this "Dr. Phil house" and he chose the following people to live together; a white supremist, a black woman who hates white people, a thin person who hates fat people, a fat man who hates thin people, a gay person who hates straights, a straight who hates gays, etc. The camera follows their every move. Its so unethical its not funny. Dr. Phil watches the footage and makes comments about the people's behavior. It creates such an unhealthy environment for these people, I can't see how any healing can take place. Dr. Phil obviously wanted to exploit these people. You probably watch more Dr. Phil than I do, but I've seen enough. I'm sure his anti-homeschooling show will be more biased BS.
The truth is I don't care what other people think of my family's lifestyle. I know my children are learning and growing wonderfully. One day they will go out into the world and they will demonstrate their strengths.
