Our oldest son lives near Dallas. Our daughter-in-law is homeschooling their kids, and they are way ahead of where the public school kids are, and even most of the kids in the pricey private schools. And, of course, they are being raised with a love and respect for God and Country, rather than for secular humanism and statism.
Congrats to your son and daughter in law - I loved being able to homeschool and Texas makes it easy!
i take my hat off to homeschoolers. i think they truly provide the BEST education for their kids, and homeschooled kids are very lucky, for the most part. in our house with the personalities involved it would have been destructive to our relationships. xsjr is learning disabled and requires a great deal of extra help and even that puts stress on our relationships. not conducive to learning when you are being taught through clenched teeth!
