The years I was a carny I met a lot of carny kids who were officially home-schooled. Their actual schooling consisted of working and learning their business. They all seem to be literate and can add and subtract, at least enough to work the fairs. They all grow up with jobs assured, even if they don’t know any more history or science than the public school kids.

One of my colleagues has homeschooled all his kids. One received a full scholarship for four years from the University of Oklahoma. The other received a 3/4 scholarship from one of the IVIES.

All to government we must surrender
It alone has right to rule
For our own good it must dictate
Our every thought and every deed
It should be master over all
It should be master over all
It owns us anyway, and has first right
To our children and ourselves
(Yes, by all means let us trust only the government and those it approves of with education... it’s the Progressive thing to do)

I am currently homeschooling my child in math and science. With a degree in engineering and minors in math and geology, I am absolutely qualified. What I found particularly disturbing is that the teachers edition of the high school algebra textbook does not require the teacher to know any algebra. It essentially provides a script for classroom instruction and all the problem answers (not solutions or methodology). My child's response when I started teaching her algebra was, “Wow, you actually understand this and know why anyone would want to know it.”

Homeschooling inherently preselects out the lazy unconcerned parent.

My late wife and I sent our three children to Catholic schools. They all turned out well, but she used to say that she could teach them so much more if she had them at home. After her death I married a widow who had home-schooled her children. They also turned out well. If I had it to do over, I'd have l'd have helped my wife home-school our children.

Very convenient coming from a church that runs a chain of schools.
And the better question is “who the hell are you, covering up rampant pedophilia, to sit in judgement of a parent?”
Men in dresses, who don’t marry or breed, and who bugger little boys...dare lecture American home schoolers. Laughable on it;s face.

The course material or software etc.... is set up so parents can facilitate. Which is what teachers have been doing for decades. Facilitating.

Of course, but I thought it would be best if you eliminated any other possibility!

The dumbing down of America was so successful, the parents bought into being Betty Crocker and Joe six pak and left their children to the government.
Things are turning around but we have a fomidable enemy that restricts THIS kind of communication and clouds it when it DOES get out.
Never discuss sex, politics and religion.
Have you seen todays' newspaper ?
Sex, politics and religion.
Thank God and JimRob for FreeRepublic !

Many of us read a title and respond to the title.
Which is what I did.
I thought it was obvious.

I often use <tt> rather than italics when quoting from the article rather than the reply. But thats just me.

Thats too bad. Our church was quite supportive. Helps that our pastor and his wife were homeschoolers. :-)

I suspect that those elders complaining the most about “ideological” bias in homeschooling parents would be perfectly happy with liberal indoctrination at a group facility.

Whoa! Just when you think you’ve heard everything...
Priests, Bishops, Cardinals...right up to the Pope, should be leading the charge to home school.
This is an outrage.

I wouldn’t say ‘always’; I doubt that St. Ignatius of Loyola and St. Francis Xavier would identify with the Commies.
However, in the modern day, I would wholeheartedly agree with you on their leftist sympathies.
