Momma must be smart. 🤔

WOW !!!! I bet you're proud of that young lady !

Bwahahaha.....

I live in mobile. I, my wife, and both our kids graduated from private school. Both the wife and I attended public school first. If private school was not available here we probably would have homeschooled ours. BUT, I will say that the home school families I know don't do it well. They did not prepare the kids for the rigors of college. The parents did not keep the kids on a schedule. It was more like school was done in the spare time. But I know that may not be typical

It's not typical. Homeschooled kids score higher on standardized test than traditionally educated students according to the data. The hard truth is that the education system in this country isn't designed to turn out well educated, independent thinkers. It's designed to indoctrinate kids into being SJ warriors and group thinkers that are ill equipped to do much more than follow instructions. If they achieve anything more than that it's in spite of the public schools, not because of them. That doesn't sit well with the folks who think public schools are preparing children better than parents can but it's the truth regardless if they like it or not. Some systems are better than others but if they are part of publicly funded education they are part of a system designed to hinder your child's invidual success.

Lots of homeschooling myths and misinformation on here. 14 years of homeschooling experience. That's all I will contribute.

Rigors of college? You pay show up sometimes ,and get a degree.

#homeskooled 😂

Myself and my wife home schooled our kids. I have a degree in Biology and one in Chemistry from Auburn. (I'm retired from the state). My wife is smarter than I am and had some college. Both of our boys turned out great from homeschooling. I have never seen the need to have 12 years of english. Lots of repeated stuff in public school. We did this because (came to it separately) each felt that God was calling to do this.

The right cover program for homeschooling makes a lot of difference. I was the athletic director for an incredible program for about 10 years in the Alabaster area. It wasn’t your stereotypical homeschool. They had kids graduate from Harvard, The Citadel, of course all the schools you would expect. Some, as you would also suspect didn’t goto college. One I know just got a job flying jets for a private company.

According to some on here you’re biased and your kids aren’t as smart as you think, plus you’re a religious extremist.

Ballard by any chance?

Riiiggght!

I shoulda quited wen I wuz a head.

All in good fun!

How many people you know that flunked out of college? Not dropped out, fluked out, were told they couldn't get a degrer. The answer zero, you keep paying and you get to stay, and eventually get that degree. Weather you learned anything or not. I've heard the athletes with four years of high school English, and PASSED two years of college English and couldn't write a sentence if you doubled their nil! I had a 4.0 at a community College for a year. Unlike most people who go to college, I had to pay 100% out of my pocket. No help from parents or government. After a year I failed to see the advantage of paying for something I would never use. Dropped out and got a job, which is exactly what most people would do if they had to pay for it on their own. The few that did , got loans and now they don't want to pay them. Hmmm
