BUMPING for my homeschooled nieces & nephews!

("socialization"...give me a break....I know!..let's promote kids who can't read or write onto higher grades because it's better for them "socially" to move up with their peers. Yeah - that happens ALL THE TIME in the real world, doesn't it? Sure, my husband was just promoted to VP because the guy that sat next to him was...and the company wanted to be fair.....NOT!).

You all don't understand the code. When the NEA says that home schooled students are not properly socialized, what they mean is that they are not properly brain washed into accepting the sociaist propaganda that most of the schools teach.

It is only in the last 100 years that we hearded children of the same age together and treated them all like prison convicts. Some have claimed it was a deliberate policy started in Prussia to produce compliant subjects. From what I can tell, there is much truth to this claim.

The irony is, in the business world, it's a never ending repeat of high school. As a manager, you feel more like a school principal, then a professional business person. The business I am in is manufacturing, and it may be more prevalent in that industry, but I'm inclined to think not.
