My kids are all grown but I support home schooling 100%. I do fear for this movement’s future however. McCain and huckster not to mention all the RATS are not fans of home schooling
Yes. But anyone who talks about education will admit that parental involvement is important to education. I think that the logical answer to challenges of homeschooling is simply to point out that homeschooling is simply the logical conclusion of parental involvement.

It is a sad commentary on the schools they are promoting if they can't teach children well enough for them to mature into adults who are capable of tutoring a handful of children who love them and rely on them. Most especially with the computerized curricula which are available, and the internet for a resource.

We also believe that the next administration is going to try to lay some spikes in the road for home schooling families.

that parental involvement is important to education.

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

All academically successful children are homeschooled.

This is true even if they are institutionalized for their education. The only thing a government institutional school is sending home is a free curriculum for the parents to follow.

There may be some exception out there, but I bet not many.

When parents of institutionalized children tell me about what they are doing for their children. Honestly, it isn’t anything different than I did for my children. Institutionalizing a child for his education is often more work than homeschooling!
