Or are you a member of “The Elite”
Did you read my post where I stated I went to Catholic School? In my entire life, I never stepped for in a public elementary or high school. Yes college I did. So elite hardly. I am more the parent’s choice as long as the homeschool curriculum is serious. I see how wife swap homeschool students are taught and it is not impressive.
No, not all home schooled kids get the best of education - but I've seen what is taught to our kids in public schools - and "it is not impressive."
What is a “wife swap homeschool student”?
None of anyone's business. My kids, my responsibility, and I will have to stand in front of the Creator and give an account for how I raised them, not you or anyone else.
If that scares anyone, might I suggest praying? Ask God to give the parents around you the wisdom to make the right choices.
Exactly why I don't homeschool "in front" of people...what we do does not look a lot like what most people would consider school, particularly traditional schoolers and more structured homeschoolers. We have turned down requests more than once from people (media and potential homeschoolers) to see "how it's done." We are in our sixteenth year and we have
Daughter #1 - college grad, summa cum laude from a top tier school,
Son #1 - national merit scholar, on track to graduate summa cum laude from a respected engineering school, already hired by a large defense contractor, starting in June,
Son #2 - Freshman in college, Presidential Scholar, straight A's his first semester at the same top tier school as his sister,
Daughter #2 - still trying to get her to like learning, but we are very optimistic!
I can assure you that no one would be impressed with what we do in our homeschool, yet my kids can all carry on lively conversations about a variety of topics, work individually and in groups, lead when necessary (both boys got their Eagle) and are interested in what is happening in the world beyond pop culture and what is on Oprah....
Not that any of us watch her or know what the homeschoolers on Wife Swap are like, but we have observed that homeschoolers that make it to tv, reality shows or dramas, are not typical, so I hope people won't judge us by them.
