So, home schooled kids don't reach puberty? ( Durasell)
Durasell,
Much of the behavior observed in the typical teenager is due to toxic government school socialization.
Honestly, speak to other homeschooling moms and dads of teens who have homeschooled their children from the beginning.
Our family had none of the usual teen behavior. I did not need to nag them about the modesty of their clothing, study habits, curfew hours, or letting me know where they were. When an adult spoke to them they answered in full sentences without the 20 degree off-gaze seen in government schooled children. They were very responsible, kind, and charitable with their time to others.
I never had even one minute's worry about them. My homeschooled children are NORMAL.
It is the government schooled children who are socially and academically delayed or retarded. Most of the government school socialization will need to be unlearned if they are going to be successful in their marriages, jobs, friendships, and relationships with extended family and neighbors. Thankfully, humans are adaptable and most give up these dysfunctional habits.
My three kids were admitted to college at the ages of 13,12, and 13. They were finished are their general college courses, and had completed Calculi III by age 15. Two graduated from college at the age of 18 with B.S. degrees in mathematics. One of these two finished a masters degree in mathematics at the age of 20.
These two found wonderful, handsome, responsible husbands at the university that they studied.
The oldest is a nationally and internationally ranked athlete. He studied accounting since it fit well with his heavy training and travel schedule. At 19,( only 13 courses shy of a B.S. in Accounting) he spent 2 years in the Baltics on a church assignment. He returned fluent in Russian. He is currently continuing his athletic training and studies.

The comment you responded to was a joke.
I am pleased that your kids turned out well.
