"We discuss this at home and he learns more than any of your home-schooled sheltered Tali ban govern children would"

That's an interesting comment, and I venture to guess that you attended a public school or similar parochial school. Will he be doing calculus when he's 12? Will he be able to write a formal letter in correct English? Will he know where a bill goes along the way to becoming law or not?

I do hope that he does not learn to incorrectly associate others during arguments with the "Tali ban."

WHy would a 12 year old need calculus? I was taught to write a formal letter with the help from my parents. And we all know the song as to how a bill becomes a law! But does your child understand the different religions and why a Sikh carries a knife? Does you teenager feel comfortable enough with the opposite sex to dance at a dance Oh wait Homeschoolers don't get that opportunity
