fyi

Kyle Williams is 13 years old, home-schooled and lives in a rural community in America's heartland.
His column title, "VERITAS," is Latin for "truth."
He particularly enjoys following current news events – and writing about them – and is extremely interested in politics.
Kyle believes he may one day have a career in journalism.
For now, he offers his unique perspective to the readers of WorldNetDaily.

Kyle's father need not write this article. There was never a doubt in my mind that a young child could run rings around the haters (you jerks know who you are) at FR.

The original thread about the column can be found here:

Great article. Kyle was spot on even if some 'conservatives' don't agree

[Spirited]

Of course Kyle writes the columns.

We are sure that his parents are justifiably pleased for him and for their part in his education.

There are those who have never met a homeschooler. The average homeschooler will outdo the better publicly schooled student (statistically proven). The outstanding homeschooler routinely tests out of a year or two of college. (See http://www.robinsoncurriculum.com for some answers to the whys.)

Don Williams is expressing the prevailing philosophy of parents schooling their own children. The purpose and direction of each child is determined by the child and encouraged by the parent.

It is why homeschooling is so despised by the prevailing teachers' unions who run the failing public school system.
They do not care to encourage the promulgation of a group of citizens who can think clearly and independently, excell without cheating, demonstrate uncorrupted leadership, exhibit an exemplary work ethic and preserve untarnished motivation to better the Nation rather than pull it apart.

nice to see young talent encouraged and developing. but the boy is 13 years old. he might need to get a little wet behind the ears before he goes about correcting the world on its faults.

FYI

[AAABEST]

This kid reminds me of the kid in "The Emporer Has No Clothes". He had the "amen" crowd in full conniption breakdown the other day.

They couldn't figure out a way to mercilessly bash a 13 year old (as they do everyone else outside the groupthink) and look civil at the same time.

They can be an ugly bunch.

The parenting partnership can be defined and planned, but the largest piece for the parent is to step back and allow the evolution and development of the child – mistakes and all – without acting on the innate need to take charge and make things happen.

The most useful movie on child-rearing I ever saw was a hard-core TULIP calvinist retelling of the Prodial Son parable. Bottom line: it is not parental control that finally saves our children, but the grace of God.

Yes, I've "met" Kyle. I've said if he has this much insight at 13, can you imagine when he is 25? ..
