You are exactly right, Watson! My grand-daughter is married to a fine 21 year old Marine that has 9 brothers and sisters who was homeschooled, in California of all places.
He guards our nuclear arsenal, a position that requires SWAT type training. The kid is awesome.
He and his military buddies all seem to be cut from the same cloth. It is the public school population and average kid on the street I’m referring too. They won’t do the work...period. To them, all they are concerned with are their “benefits”, man, I hate that word.
Yeah, I know, most of them would wind up in the emergency room if they tried to work one day like I worked when I was twelve years old on days that I wasn’t in school. I used to walk more miles in one summer day than most of them walk in a month now and I KNOW I didn’t have it as tough as those who came a hundred years before me, not even close.
I understand now what Kirk Douglas meant when he said that he was so proud of what Michael had accomplished even though he did not have the “great advantage” of being brought up dirt poor as Kirk was.
