Dear 2nd amendment mama,

"First of all, most homeschoolers are not in that income bracket and even if they are, you are showing your jealousy."

You're so very right.

Actually, because homeschooling families are almost by definition single-income families (and almost never have two high incomes), the median family income for homeschoolers is a little lower than the national median.

Homeschooling families usually homeschool at significant economic sacrifice.

However, the results are really tough to beat!

I know...I was a homeschooler in the 70's. When my husband passed away (at age 33) I was then forced to put my son in school because I had to work full time to support us. When they tested him, he not only beat the state test scores, he beat the test scores for the town we lived in. And, oh yeah, I was told by the school psychologist who had to evaluate him that she'd never met a more well-adjusted boy that age, especially since he'd lost his father in the previous year!

Fortunately, my son NEVER had a teacher with the arrogance/attitude of meandog. If he had, I would have found a way to pull him back out and homeschool again.

As I stated in a previous post, I'm very proud of how my son has turned out. He's very successful - been in management positions since his early 20's, happily married for over 15 years and is a joy to know. He's hardly the "social-misfit" that meandog constantly spouts about! I just wish that his Dad were still alive to see what a wonderful man he's grown up to be.
