Sadly None of them address the issue(s) I raised, End results, performance as an adult.

Well...Gee!...Isn't that too bad for you. You did get what you want.

One thing is certain. When our family was homeschooling the number of homeschoolers barely topped 100,000 ( likely less). Since the late 80s it has grown to be 4% of the school aged population. It is likely double that since government numbers regarding homeschoolers a notoriously unreliable and deliberately reported on the unrealistically low side.

This means that, at NO COST TO YOU or and other NEIGHBOR, parents have decided that this is the best way to educate and rear their children.

On the other hand....There is NO NO NO NO NO evidence or studies of any kind proving that government schools are in any way effective. We spent up to nearly $30,000/year/child and NO ONE, absolutely NO ONE knows if government schools teach anything because afterschooling and preschooling has NEVER been measured.

Yeah! I am shouting. Who wouldn't? That is a LOT of tax money collected under the threat of armed police action, sheriff sale, garnished wages, closed businesses, and ruined lives for a program of UNKNOWN effectiveness. Parents sacrifice mightily taking on high mortgages and long commutes to work hoping to find a so-called “good” government school and NO ONE has ever determined if these schools are, indeed, good!

I surely hope you are not practicing engineering like this.

If this is any example of what you taught your children, when they weren’t in those horrible government indoctrination centers, I wouldn’t be bragging about it. My 14 year old constructs better sentences.

You really need to proof read before posting, that is why there is a “preview” button.

One of these days you will finally understand you do far more harm than good to the home school movement. You have a bad attitude and you seem to relish in your ability to turn people off.

Some one asks for salt you hand him pepper. I understand that you were some sort of medical person, is this how a medical professional treats their patients?

Here is my original from 10 days ago: Do you have any studies supporting this? Do you have any studies showing that home school students earn more money, are more mentally/ emotionally stable, or perform better in college? and your reply: You did get what you want.By your own admission studies have not been done and now you change your story that the studies have been, yet not one of them answers the question.

As you have to others "This says so much more about you."
