Dr. Phil, I’m Totally Confused!Updated

First Post November 20, 2006

I’ve just read some shocking information about the soon to air Dr. Phil episode on homeschooling. Don’t know if it’s true, but I plan on watching for myself to see if it is! You might want to TiVo it yourself.

I wrote this earlier today and what happened tonight when I turned on the t.v? I saw Dr. Phil and Robin on the Life Today show with James and Betty Robison professing their faith in Jesus Christ.

Now I’m totally confused about the article I just read and the interview I just watched and can’t reconcile the two Dr. Phil’s. Now I’ll really have to watch that homeschool show!!!

So what do you think is up?

UPDATED:

Did anyone see the show? I missed it because football was airing at the time Dr. Phil’s show was scheduled.

Like many homeschoolers and Christians, I am also disappointed especially since I saw Dr. Phil and Robin on the James Robison show where they professed their personal relationship with Jesus. But one thing I think we’re missing is that this may be one area Dr. Phil needs growth and education in and instead of bashing him (not saying that we’re doing that here) we should be lifting him up in prayer.

As a homeschooler, personally I couldn’t help but agree with some of the things Dr. Phil said, but that’s just me and unschooling is not for me and my family. I absolutely think it was unfair that only this method of homeschooling was highlighted and that in this day and age there were still a lot of ignorant things said about homeschooling.

I’m hesitant to point the finger at Dr. Phil, and know the entire staff and producers should be held accountable for their slant of the issue just for the ratings and sensationalism.

So let’s pray for Dr. Phil and his views on homeschooling. Who knows, he might turn out to be a homeschooling advocate one day!!!

This just in…Spunky Homeschool has a great overview of the show and many comments by those who saw it!
