My daughter has to attend public school this year, after being homeschooled for 3 years in a row. She’s pulling straight A’s, is testing out grades ahead of her classmates, is in top levels for reading, science, and math - and yet is still a social butterfly with tons of friends.
To the wind with Joy Behar and her nonsense.
My daughter is a senior this year. We homeschooled for seven years before she went back to school a year and a half ago.
She has a 3.8 GPA and scores slightly above her peers on standardized tests. She’s ranked 106 out of 253. Not as great as some.
But she’s also two years younger than her peers. She’s smart, stubborn, conservative, VERY moral and has tons of friends. When a friendship is ended, it’s her who does the ending. She refuses to be friends with people who don’t adhere to her standards of morality.
She had a party here about a month ago and some of the kids got stupid. (They were quite sneaky and I missed most of it.) She cut four friends out of her life because, “They showed disrespect for my mother, my home and my values.”
She doesn’t blink, she doesn’t hesitate and she doesn’t look back.
I’d sit in a foxhole with her over an ivy-league educated idiot any day of the week.
One day she’s going to be a *fierce* mama! :-)
