Somewhat O/T, but did the other homeschooling parents notice that more homeschooling families were aware of the housing/credit bubble vs. their non-homeschooling peers?
When the housing bubble blogs were just getting started, I noticed that there were a disproportionate number of homeschoolers on the blogs. Additionally, of the homeschoolers we knew in “real life” there was no question about whether or not there was a credit/housing bubble. Everyone seemed pretty realistic about it.
I’ve often wondered if this was because, in general, homeschooling families tend to be less fad-driven and more averse to “commercialization” and media advertising. They’re much less concerned about what everyone else is doing, from what I’ve seen, so were less likely to be pulled in by the mania.
