We are the C.I.T.s, so pity us;
The kids are brats, the food is hideous.

I have a relative that called my children social misfits because they were homeschooled.
One of his daughters hid in her room during her entire high school graduation party.
Let’s see. Two of my daughters moved out on their own by the age of 20. One is a full time nanny and just got hired in the children’s dept at a bookstore because of her tremendous knowledge of children’s literature. She’s heading off on a mission trip to Africa soon.
Another is working full time as an admin. assistant. This fall, she’ll be studying in England for 6 months.
One son is a bit of a social misfit, that’s because he’s majoring in astronautical engineering. His entire class is the same as him. He’s also working full time this summer for a home remodeler who just told me how impressed he is with my sons work ethic.
Number four is 1000 miles away right now as a camp counselor in training.
Yep, I’d say their education was pretty comprehensive.
I guarantee that the students and instructors will be gobsmacked over her intelligence and knowledge.
I guest lectured in about a dozen UK universities and in my lectures there was always some US student studying abroad for a semester of two. Always, that student was unprepared and unable to defend the greatness of America and were beat into submission, assuming all the fasionably anti-American elitist snobbery of the UK “intelligentsia.”
I, on the other hand, while not brilliant was an unapologetic American, proud of the country and was lucky to have been educated to defend America and what is stands for and has done to advance civilization and freedom.
I think she will be a welcome presence in her classes/lectures and she will be doing the educating. . .good for her.

Of four kids, all homeschooled all the way, I’ve got two in college. Both are in BA programs in ballet; the older once received a lesson from Misty Copeland, and the younger just finished a couple of weeks at L’Abri. Kid number three is shaping up for a military career, and kid number four is entirely likely to become a homeschooling mom. They all test head and shoulders above their grade levels on the standardized tests, partly because we never gave a rat’s appendix for “grade levels.”
