we homeschooled through 9th grade, “the kid” went to community college during high school years, earned his AA, transferred to University, and is graduating from college in December at the age of 19.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

My kids aren’t geniuses either. They too were homeschooled to the 9th grade.

They entered community college at the ages of 13, 12, and 13. All finished all general college requirements and Calculus III by the age of 15. The two younger earned B.S. degrees in mathematics at the age of 18. The older of these two recently finished a masters degree in math at the age of 20.

The oldest took a different trajectory. He is a nationally and internationally ranked athlete. He has traveled worldwide. He attended a business college in the evening and majored in accounting. At the age of 19 he took off two years to assist our church in Eastern Europe and returned home fluent in Russian. He is again training in his sport and will finish his accounting degree at the same age as his contemporaries.

Again...my kids are **normal**!
It is institutionalized children ( especially those in government schools) who are artificially and wrongfully retarded in their educational and social development.

Uh..oh...I just criticized the government schools! There will be some nit wit teacher ( or parent who uses the schools) who will then claim that I have **personally** insulted them.

Ever noticed how the welfare dependent seem to get very defensive when their dependency is pointed out to them?
