Breathtaking?! Oh man! That's an understatement! These kids are an average of three grade levels ahead of their public schooled peers. Most liberals are simply NO match for them in a "discussion". They read World Magazine, FreeRepublic, and other conservative news sources. They scoff at the notion of liberalism, leftism, and the godlessness of society. Yet, they still possess that "innocent" attitude that most kids lose by the third grade or so in public schools. My 14 year old in particular has "discernment".....the Aramaic word fro this translates to "accuteness of judgement". As his witness, he does have this gift. I've been smitten by it myself!

Something is DEFINTELY going on with this generation we have produced. I don't know what, but too many people are starting to notice that these kids are "different"....have a different focus.... KNOW right from wrong....and care more about what Adonai (YHVH) thinks than what the world thinks! YES! Finally! People of principle! OH YES! OH YES! OH YES!

The leftists must really hate discovering this sort of thing. Sorta kicks the ole diversity training agenda in the pants doesn't it? :-)

I suspect at some point, the lefties will try to outlaw homeschooling. That will be "interesting" at minimum. But I think even if they pulled it off in the next year, it's too late. The "different people" are already formed....they're already who they are.

While I agree with you that many homeschooled children are that far above, there are also children in public school doing the same or better.

My daughter tested with a 95 at the 4th grade level for reading when she finished kindergarten in June.

I acknowlege that much of that is because of how daddy and I do things at home, however it not only is possible but does occur. A combination of regular school and parental involvement can and does make a difference.
