Good for you!
A friend of mine, a fairly young widow with 3 boys, is home schooling her kids. One won a full academic scholarship to MIT last year. Another won an academic scholarship to UT (pre-med). The third is only about 13, but he's so far ahead of other kids his age it's ridiculous. No one in there peer group that has gone to publik skools has remotely gotten the academic attention these three have.
Publik skools are a really sad joke.....thank you Jimmuh Carter.....
Yup. . the “level playing field” and all that jazz. In our state where the lottery is touted for providing all sorts of scholarships, the requirements have now been lowered so that more goof off students can goof off even more and the level of mediocrity can be enjoyed by all.
My BIL is always talking about how “stupid” his students are in detail, but then today when I told a story about how a friend’s daughter said she wasn’t going for her kids to go to school in that county, because of the ignorance and pride in it that existed among kids who bragged about never having even been out of the county she was not going to live there when she grew up - he got all indignant and remarked what a wonderful education system they had around there.
I wish he would make up his mind.
