The USA is an alien country (aliens, of the non-intelligent sort!)
Really it is!
I get this shocking realization whenever I see something like this.
How is it that half population of the USA have the intelligence of, like, 4-year olds?
Healthy genes act as team-players. They are teamish!
Their winning plays are salvations of an aliveness of which they are a part.
Only a fraction of genes are selfish/parasitic (and they parasitize teams).

Jeannie is a homeschooling mother of four with a love for God’s Word, educating her children, science, and encouraging women. After graduating from the University of Texas in 1991, she married her husband Jeff, who is a practicing attorney in Georgia.
She was obviously homeschooled in English.

I don't think this country has any future - or rather I should say that I want no part of the future i forsee for this country.
it's people like this who are directly to blame for the fact that we have smart bombs and stupid fucking children
Think of it as Skull Island for theistic beliefs...Even if you survive the Choobusaurus there is still that ravine full of giant atheistropods waiting to make a meal of you.

Never mind. Soon the bombs will actually be smarter than the children and will take over. Since they will have been intelligently designed, I'm sure they will be able to understand evolution.
They'll probably run a better foreign policy as well, since if they go to war they'll have to explode.

I thought there were books especially for midgets. Tiny little books.....

Using the Charlotte Mason/Classical philosophies of living books that are rich in content, that delve deeply into a subject, giving the child a full grasp on the subject, with narration, notebooking, God glorifying text and many creative and hands-on experiences, this series imparts a love of learning, and a confidence in their knowledge of science.

As I'm reading posts this morning, I wanted to add my dd's comment today. She -- again -- said how much she loves THIS science. I am currently using the Astronomy book with my 6yods and 10yodd.

letting Christians teach science is like letting Jack Kvorkian (sp?) work the morphine machine in an ICU.
or like letting Bill Oreilly work the phones at a rape crisis center

How does one 'explore creation with astronomy'? 'Creation' and 'Astronomy' have about as much in common as ducks and bicycles.
So... is it me or is 'Homeschooling' a thinly veiled ploy to even further brainwash Jeebus into children?

Most of the homeschooled children I've met have been fairly smart. The flaw in the system is that not every parents would make a good teacher.

It is also a ploy to deprive children of much-needed socialization skills and human experience.
I wouldn't mind homeschooling quite as much if the parent doing it had to be fully certified in all of the subjects being taught in the full syllabus applicable to that child/year. It would still lack socialization, though.

Kindof depends on the kid and the parents. There can be a lot of socialisation outside of school. I know a few homeschooled people who were religions nuts and socialy they are normal... just still religious nuts. I dout that would have changed though.
The homeschooled people I know who were not homeschooled for religious reasons where mostly homeschoold because they were way way to bright for the ordinary school system to handle well. Socialy speaking most come out fine and in the case of the bright students they blow away the kids in school.
Oh and all of them can spell better than me ;)

Some homeschooling is.
As for exploring creation with astronomy. I am wondering what the contence is. Is this just exploring the world around us with astronomy re-badged or does the whole creation thing go deeper than that (which I imagine is the case but I can't figure out how the fuck that works).
