This is an affirmation of my homeschooling theme:

“Impervious to Nonsense”.

Two major and one minor point of emphasis to accomplish this:

1) Strong Biblical knowledge and worldview.
2) Thorough understanding of Basic Economics, T Sowell style.

3) Probability and statistics (yes, it IS dumb to buy a lottery ticket. No, you’re not more likely to get a tails after getting 5 heads in a row)

This semester my son, a senior in our homeschool, is listening to n audio cd of "The Universe Next Door " an excellent exploration of worldview. He took it to work on his i-phone and listened to it to& from the job site, and at lunch.

He came so excited - he talked my ear off !
