What a really great post.
So many who home school have rounded and intelligent offspring. Children are sponges and want to learn. Forcing them to learn a government mandated schedule of subjects is ridiculous. They'll be good at what they love. Too many kids have creativity and critical thinking drummed out of them in school these days, they're just taught to conform with the system.
It's a BS numbers game trying to create all the right stats for the government.
Home school them if you can, they'll thank you for it.
