Nowhere in our Constitution is there any provision that gives government any power to abrogate it.

Uh huh. That's great.

Any inbred retard can choose to educate their kids.

Brilliant notion. The heck with having those "teaching"
to actually know something, much less be tested on it.

Wow. When did you become such a statist?

Makes one wonder if someone has hijacked your account. Like a Democrat Party/NEA Superdelegate or something...

Humble, do you even KNOW anyone who is homeschooled? Apparently not. You are making typical, broad, inaccurate assumptions about homeschooling parents and children that reveals your ignorance about what we do. College is the goal for all homeschooled families I have ever met. Working at a job where you ask the public, “Do you want fries with that?” is NOT the goal. Many major universities in this country have full-time recruiting staff that do nothing but go after homeschooled students, because they know how well they do with test scores, academic achievement, career focus, citizenship, and “thinking outside the box” as one Stanford University homeschool recruiter recently said at a conference I attended. Fortune 500 companies are also headhunting among the homeschooling community for some of the same reasons. They want creativity, and not cookie-cutter problem-solving approaches among their programmers, engineers and executives.

Not all of our children are “gifted”, but even the “average” or “delayed” ones do much better, because we individually tutor them every single day. They learn to think and reason in ways public school students AS A WHOLE do not have opportunity or time to develop.

There is a lot you should learn about who we are as a whole, before you make all these thoughtless, angry generalities about what we do for our children.
