Yeah, and look at all that home schooling being done by those Christians and how poorly those children are doing in academia:>)

Oh, sure, point out how brilliant, intelligent, and well educated these kids being taught by UNSCIENTIFIC neanderthals are! But can they put a condom on a banana in the dark? And I bet they suck at performing abortions. So really, what good are they without a circularly defined SCIENCE education?

You need to read just how poorly they are doing.

Academic Statistics

The average homeschool 8th grade student performs four grade levels above the national average (Rudner study). One in four homeschool students (24.5%) are enrolled one or more grades above age level. Students who have been home schooled their entire lives have the highest scholastic achievement. In every subject and at every grade level of the ITBS and TAP batteries, homeschool students scored significantly higher than their counterparts in public and private schools.

Homeschool profile

Median amount spent on home schooling per child in the US - $450

Household incomes

18% of home school families earn less than $25,000, 44% of households between $25,000 and $49,000.

Religion

Over 75% attend religious services

Actually I studied evolution [public school] and my children who are all home schooled will have the proper understanding of it [that is my view of it]. All told the concepts of evolution taught in public schools amounted to about ZERO value in anything I've ever done. And go figure - I was pretty sure the B.S. I got in college stood for Bachelor of Science and the M.S. I got stood for Master of Science. I also had no problem getting into the Ph.D. program. I also don't recall being asked about my views of evolution at any job I've every applied for.

Well I guess some people don't view mechanical engineering as real science. All those cars, planes, air-conditioning, etc. were never real contributions to the world. But I do know several medical doctors and they all have sort of the same opinion - it was of no great help to them either.
