“I have no idea what your comment about homeschoolers has to do with this topic. I’ve known homeschoolers and I have nothing against them. However, I don’t care if you are the son of two geniuses and are a genius yourself, being an Eagle Scout doesn’t hinge on being a genius, it hinges on being a servant leader to those around you and demonstrating that.”

Homeschooling is a lifestyle of learning and serving. When your school day ends at 8am because you learn year around and choose to wake up before 5am, there is a lot of time in your day to serve, exercise, play, read, learn more...

Well, if that's how you run your homeschooling, great. Kudos to you. However, I know that not all homeschooled kids are structured that way. Just as not all public educated kids are bottom feeders barely able to add, subtract and read. Granted, there are those kids, but they aren't all that way.

That being said, I still don't buy into the idea that even a smart, well structured, homeschooled kid, can truly earn his rank of Eagle by the age of 13.
