Bright enough to know that government schools would have turned my NORMAL child into blithering, drooling institutionalized idiots.

You & they seem to have been very successful with homeschooling. I know many homeschooled children who are extremely well-educated, and a joy to be around. I'm sure yours are as well.

I'd guess that your children are much more resilient than you give them credit for, however, and probably would have done just fine in any school they attended. :-)

Amelia,

Can you name one government school in America that would have had my NORMAL children ready for college at the ages of 13, 12, and 13? Or....would have had them completely finished with ALL of their college generals and all levels of Calculus ( to calculus III) by the age of 15?

Hm,,,,and allowed my NORMAL oldest **complete** freedom to arrange his athletic training and his many trips around the country and world. How many government schools are giving 16 year old teens ( who have already completed the first two years of college) a complete college night school program in business accounting?

This is a NEA talking point: Homeschoolers would have done just as well in government schools. Nonsense!

I don't think so, Amelia!
