They're just doing their best to prepare them for the *real* world of public education. That way when their teacher does it to them, they won't think it's so unusual and complain about it.
I am convinced of one thing and that's if they had been homeschooled, the article most certainly would have stated so since the MSM never misses a chance to publish a hit piece on homeschoolers.
Must be, then, that they're your typical public school graduates.
NEVER POST PICTURES!
Just kidding. These people have some real problems making good decisions.
Speaking of good decisions, I just installed Rosetta Stone to teach my kids and myself Spanish. The smallest one (7) is on it right now and having a good time.
Hopefully, one or all of us will get good at the Spanish module and then add another language pack in a year or two.
So far, it is a really cool tool.
