My thoughts went immediately to my dear friend [now tragically dead of a brain tumor] ... who homeschooled her 8 brilliant children when home schooling was rare or even almost unheard of ...

This woman's homeschooling children were likely NORMAL. It is government schooled children who are educationally and socially retarded by being institutionalized.

My three homeschoolers were finished with all their college general courses and all three levels of college calculus by the age of 15. The two younger were finished their B.S. degree in mathematics by the age of 18. The oldest of these two just finished a masters degree in math at the age of 20. The oldest of the three studied accounting. He is nearly finished at the age of 21. He is a nationally and internationally ranked athlete and also volunteered for his church for 2 years in Eastern Europe. He returned recently complete fluent in Russian.

My kids are NORMAL and so are other homeschooling achievers. It is government schooled children who are delayed and retarded in their development.

Oh, you are probably so correct ... but what an exemplary NORMAL they are! My hat is off to you and all the others who homeschool their children. Words cannot express the admiration I feel ... or the debt owed to you by anyone with sincere interest in the future of this country.
