Something to think about...the difference (that fine line) between shame and humiliation. The sad fact that it happens both at home and in the classroom. This lady makes sense and gives some very good advice that we all need to hear.

shame: a feeling of guilt, regret, or sadness that you have because you know you have done
something wrong
humiliation: the action of humiliating someone or the state of being humiliated
humiliate: make (someone) feel ashamed and foolish by injuring their dignity and self-respect,
esp. publicly.
We homeschool because we believe "There are two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One is roots; the other, wings." (Hodding Carter, Jr.) In order to help our children establish roots and spread their wings, we believe in...strength in family relationships...an intimate relationship with God...being socially active...networking within the community to make our town a better place...excellence in academics and life skills...and that we are never too old to yearn for knowledge.
