I agree and share as well the 'evolution' of her opinion on home schooled children. It may not be the best situation for every child. . .but the ones that I have met are like the ones mentioned in this article. They are well educated. . .more mature and seem to have a 'comfortable' zone that many their age have yet to experience.

The two kids I just met recently, did go to elementary; but were then homeschooled after seventh or eighth grade. . .and they were most impressvive.

. . . don't know if I have met any that were homeschooled in entirety. . .but it is no longer an 'isolating educational experience'. .

More Democrats in power, will insure greater problems for the 'homeschooled'; they do not want to lose a population of children to values other than those provided by the Government.

Hillary would just shut the door on it. . .for sure.

I tell every parent of a young child I meet -HOME SCHOOL! I truly feel that is the biggest mistake I made that I would cut off an arm to correct. Twenty years ago I didn't trust my own abilities and did not yet have my very well earned loathing and hatred of 'school', its administrators and 'zero tolerance policies' that never are enforced unless it's to protect a 'protected child' -and I do know of what I speak. In Southern Indiana I've clashed with 3 different school systems and found all lacking. The first -when our daughter was in the second grade wasn't too bad, but the other two were horrific.

Keep your children well socialized and in extracurricular activities such as music or (might I suggest) JUDO (for self-defence and discipline) for example, but keep them away from the shark packs that swim among the student, teacher and administrators that laughably try to disguise themselves as a 'school'.
