Home schooled students - and they are admitted as young as 15 - are a standout in every class.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The homeschoolers that seem so exceptional are **normal**. It is the child who is institutionalized in prison-like brick and mortar schools who is artificially retarded in their social and academic development.
My 3 homeschoolers were admitted to college at the ages of 13, 12, and 13. All three finished all general education requirements and Calculus III by the age of 15. The two younger finished B.S. degrees in mathematics by the age of 18.
The oldest will soon finish an MBA at a normal age. He is a highly ranked athlete and has trained vigorously and traveled extensively over the years. He also worked for our church in Eastern Europe for a few years and is fully fluent in Russian.
If we examine history we see many, many examples of adolescents who rose to the chanllege of adult responsibilities. It was common for teens to be in college. Meriwether Lewis, at age 16, was **expected** at age 16 to take over the management of the family’s 20,000 acre estate when his father died.
Our government K-12 schools are essentially kiddie prisons and warehouses intended to keep youth off the streets and out of the labor market.
I agree completely. I always dreamed of getting my kids as advanced as yours. Bravo to you. If they all keep going like they have been, the home schoolers will take over.
The next step is militant fecundity!
