I was interested to note that many said that they homeschooled their children for religious reasons whereas in New Zealand and Australia it is generally because we believe we can better educate our kids. Peter I'm glad you're not a judge drawing conclusions on such lame "evidence". Pray forgive me my dear sir. I fail to see where I drew any conclusions from "such lame "evidence"". There was no conclusion to be drawn nor was any suggested. If your English comprehension is such that you have trouble with basic English useage, then I would point out that I merely made an observation and drew no conclusion whatsoever. With a science background and well familiar with random sampling of populations and the maths involved I would have sampled perhaps less than 0.05 percent and thus could not. Nor did I conduct a survey with properly structured questions. I may however have hypothesised - but neglected to do even that. Also, I have presented no "evidence" at all as there was none excepting statements of a few people I talked to. They were the ones who told me that most of the several hundred people present were Christians and homeschooling for religious reasons. As I said, I merely made an observation. Forgive me all for this forthcoming sin but I suppose that you have similar problems to shrub and his friends - Blair and Deputy Sherrif Howard in their concept of what constitutes "evidence" - eg. "weapons of mass destruction" Really, is there any need to make negative comments such as this? |
