"A National Home Education Research Institute study found that the typical homeschooler's academic achievement easily tops that of the typical public-school student."

duh! Not a big surprise there. My pastor is home schooling his children and he and his wife are teaching them the classics. They are very well skilled in rhetoric, latin, advanced mathematics, history, and literature. His children range from the age of 10-16. As a product of the public schools I did alright and I am working on a master's of divinity right now. I however realized that much of my time in school was wasted. Much of that is of course my own fault. The best two years of my schooling was when I lived in Egypt and attended a private school.

When I am married and have kids I will definitely be severely hesitant to send them to public schools.

My best friend was planning on sending her son back to Ghana to be educated. I told her no need to. She can homeschool him and I will help. My mother homeschooled me with english tablet primers. She barely had a highschool education. Who said you needed a certificate from the school of miseducation to teach?

School was a waste of time for me as well. All I wanted to do was read books, collect rocks and hang out with my grandma. I hated school stealing time away from the things I wanted to do.
