**IF** government teachers, principals, superintendents, and college professors were **really** genuinely interested in educating children ( as they continually claim to be) and finding the best and most effective ways to teach the children they say they love soooooo much, they would be all over homeschooling “like flies on s***t!”
They aren't!
In fact, they aren't even interested in finding out if their own government schools are the reason kids learn or if it is due to the “afterschooling” and “preschooling” done by the parents, the child by doing homework and projects, or paid or unpaid tutoring.
Here is an anecdotal example:
Three of my children were homeschooled. All were accepted into college by the ages of 13, 12, and 13. All finished all college general courses and Calculus III by the age of 15 and two finished B.S. degrees in mathematics by the age 18. One earned a masters in math by the age of 20. All are, now, highly successful and responsible citizens, spouses, parents.
These children were featured in our local paper several times. The two who earned degrees in math were the subject of a full page article in the university paper. While the math professors were keenly interested in their success and the process to achieve this level of success, NEVER ( not once) has any teacher, principal, superintendent, teacher here on Free Republic, or professor of education ever contacted me, my children, or our family to learn about our methods.
NOT very curious people, are “educators”, at least as it applies to the very well publicized success of my homeschooling children. And....Since no one is able provide links to studies done by “professional” educators of homeschoolers in general it appears they aren't curious about other homeschoolers either and their so called concern about educating children or even loving them is a lie.
Sir, please don't use "crude" language with me. I was an officer and still am a gentleman.
If what you say is true then why haven't the home schoolers done/ sponsored studies to prove their worth. Please remember that I asked you for the evidence, and it is up to you to provide it or with draw your comments,if you can't provide this information.
