But they should simply be further along than they are.

So because some publically schooled kids aren't where they should be, and their parents defend them, you're concerned about homeschooling in general?

That doesn't make sense Corin. Your wife would do a wonderful job with Luke AND JR. Sure there'd be days they'd want to kill each other, but that's why God invented Cracker Barrel.

On average if a parent cares enough to homeschool they will care enough to make sure their kids can spell and punctuate.

My mom must have said a hundred times, "That yellow schoolbus goes right past our driveway! You can be on it tomorrow if you don't shape up!"

Of course, she was more stuck in the house than a lot of homeschool families, since we always had a little one. I'm lucky I only got put through "academic boot camp" once. And none of us ever actually were killed.

That's not what I said Kevin. The vast majority of the kids my wife is teaching have been homeschooled all their lives.

My point was, we know most public schools suck. All of the arguments I get from homeschoolers is how their kids excel. For the most part, I believe that to be true.

But a good many of these kids (the majority) don't.
