Maybe a question for another time but has anyone done a study on how home school kids do in the real world? I'd be interested to see if increased test scores mean increased success and how those home school kids do against kids that get the same test scores that go to public school. Success is of course hard to measure since one persons success is anothers failure but it would be an interesting study to conduct.
This discussion could go on forever, but the best proof of God is a changed life. Besides you need some type of faith to believe either of them.
It is a matter of perspective. We see the evidence of God's existence and God's creation in the beauty and wisdom of the design.Quote:

Yet all these and many variations of these are permitted to be taught in the class room as facts.
So, why do you want to censor the evidence which we observe and teach only the evidence which you believe yet can't test nor prove?
What are you afraid of?
Your last statement says it all.Quote:

One of the lessons being taught by the youth counselors was the love of family. They asked the youth to describe their relationship with their siblings. As I understand it, my children were the only ones who admitted that they loved each other and got along well with each other. Apparently, this was a shock to all in attendance.
But I find that this is typical of home schooled children. I know many children who attend public school both in my family, my parish and those of friends and acquaintances. I also know many home schooled children. I can generally tell which is which by how they behave towards their brothers and sisters.
As for monetary success, we believe and preach:
What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?
If my children are penniless and yet love the Lord, that is all I care.
Sincerely,
De Maria
