As far as I'm concerned, government education is NOT an option. It's hard enough to raise up a child in the way he should go. Who needs the government trying to coax him in the wrong direction? So the gov't can demand my money and there's not much I can do about it. But they won't get my kid. No way! My child will not be taught by people proud to have no moral values.

"scholar Kyle Williams has been a political columnist for WorldNetDaily.com"

I went and checked out the reviews for his book and the liberals had a good time writing nasty things about this young man.

We start first grade on August first. My son loves homeschooling, and so do I. I can't help but think that because he's not reading (other than a few sight words) yet, my son would already be carrying a lable in public school. However, reading is just not going to be his "natural" strong point. The kid's adding more than one numeral in his head, loves science, and begs almost daily for a chemistry set. (He's 6, by the way.)

Thanks for posting a great read!

Thanks for posting another wonderful article from Izzy! I had the good fortune to get to know her when I lived in CT.

We homeschooled my son back in the 70's and it was a wonderful experience. Unfortunately, I eventually had to put him in regular school when his Dad died but he already had been "formed" and didn't let any of the NEA scum teachers intimidate him.

For its 1999 competition, the National Merit Scholarship Corporation selected 137 homeschoolers as semifinalists, and their numbers have steadily risen each year. In 2004, there were 250 homeschooled students selected as semifinalists.

Shazam! My [homeschooled] daughter was a National Merit Scholarship Finalist [winner] this year.
