Yes, but would it have made that go better to post about it here, if it was the 12th time the subject had come up?

I'm glad it went well in the end, BTW, whatever it took. I homeschooled till David was in second grade, and our area, fortunately, had a homeschool association that brought Christians and non-Christians together. We made it a point to have a one-point program-- to support one another in homeschooling-- and we always had strong leadership that saw to it that relationships came ahead of politics, always, no matter how divisive the urges my have gotten when buttons got pushed. It was work, but very satisfying work.... So anyway, we were all stringent about keeping that agreement. Kids from different backgrounds played... some of us (me included) used entirely organic teaching methods; some were into rigid curricula, both Christians and non-Christians... we put the kids first. I am sorry that did not happen in your case.
