Well as far as "Home School" I'm all for it, if it works for ya. We, (well mainly my wife) home school our son.
He's about to be 7 in less than 2 weeks, and reads at a 4th grade level, does math in his head (such as 9587-3369) simple multiplication and division, knows more about all types of animals than our vet, knows basic geography, (states and capitals, countries and continents) and can read a map, can kick and throw the crap outta a ball but can catch for sh!t, and he's already one hell-of-a mechanic.
Yeah his writing needs improvement and his “blueprints” need refinement, but he’s one scary smart dude. If it sounds like I’m bragging, well its cause I’m one proud Papa. He a very unique small human and I’m just lucky he’s mine. And don’t worry, not raising a psychopath, he’s very social as well, he really likes people and once someone meets him they all love him. BTW if he (or we as a family) decide to he will go to a traditional public school. Right now I think it would just hold him back.

Just the other day while helping me fix Grampa's tiolet he look at the shower head and said "Those nossels look like spinnerets", I said "What!" , Jack- "Spinnerets, the part on a spider near its butt where the web comes from".
Scary Smart!



We home school ours. My 20 year old has finished college now and is out on his own with only minor help from home and the other three are on an early track too. Home school rules.

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. Edgar Allan Poe
