My two girls went to public school
Now they're both in college
Neither seems to be a fool
Both are full of knowledge
They're both good at math and science
They're both in a science major
They learned real science, not creation myths
Unlike most homeschoolers, I wager.

"science" being defined as "global warming is caused by American capitalists" and "tree hugging 101"???

You neglected to respond in verse.
To: Right Wing Professor
"REAL" science is based on the results of observable, repeatable objective experiments. Neither evolution NOR creationism is scientific. As for me and my house, we choose to believe the Word of God and a literal 7 day creation.

As for me and my house, we choose to believe the Word of God and a literal 7 day creation.Homeschooling he doth advocate
'Cos public schools indoctrinate
Yet he speaks for all his house
No voice is given to his spouse
His kids believe what he does too
No evolution for this crew!
So end all this indoctrination
Let's brainwash kids about Creation!
To: Tribune7
Great poem. Thanks for posting it.

His children believe in God, the Creator, just as our forefathers did, just as Einstein did. You anti-religious bigots haven't contributed much to the world, have you?
To: Right Wing Professor
I'm not a poet, but I was a good student and went to a parochial grade school and a public high school.
I'm not sure the creationism/evolution issue is a good litmus test to compare science knowledge gained by homeschoolers vs public schoolers.
I was in all the "advanced" classes in high school, and I still coasted through the first three years on what I had learned in grade school. The little I learned my senior year was more in spite of the public school than because of it.
Considering how little time was spent on DNA and evolution in AP Biology in High School in the 80's, even teaching creationism couldn't hurt a homeschooler as much as putting them in the lowest-common-denominator mentality of a public school. At some point, the kids are going to have to learn to think for themselves. From what I've seen of homeschoolers vs. public schoolers, the homeschoolers have that ability in spades. The issue of evolution vs creationism (I'm not taking a position for the purposes of this thread) will take care of itself in kids like that.
I guess I'm saying that the indoctrination mentality that is in virtually all public schools does far more damage then a few homeschoolers being "brainwashed" by creationism. Warehoused indoctrination is the rule in public school. Creationism is the exception in homeschooling.

Some people think they know it all
Their sad comments make them look small
A point of view to cause conflict
It's my free speech you would restrict
So "Full of Knowledge", but a troll
Common sense you should be your goal
Not what you know, it's what you do
So come back when you get a clue

His children believe in God, the Creator, just as our forefathers did, just as Einstein did Einstein's was no personal God
He found that concept rather flawed,
and a personal saviour unrealistic
His religiousness was far more mystic
To: Right Wing Professor
"They learned real science"
And a load of B.S., too,
From mush-brained lefties, I'll bet you!

There's no point in my rebukin'
So go ahead, call me a troll
Methinks you're just one more Clymer
Gosh darn, that last line didn't rhyme.
To: Right Wing Professor
We homeschool and we're not freaks,
fanatics, lunatics, or geeks.
You like public education:
we've a different aspiration
for our kids, if you don't mind.
Leave us alone. We'll respond in kind.
