BS. I gurantee if you follow the MAP testing far enough down the line, there is cash involved.

I agree Allen. I would love to homeschool my kids. Its just not feasible for us right now. I guess we could make some drastic changes and pull it off, but cant at the moment.

The only problem I see with homeschooling is the lack of being around other kids. I know that our schools are partly a big cess pool where kids learn about drugs, sex and violence. But its also where they learn about relationships and how to interact with others socially. Right or wrong. Thats the only thing I can see wrong with home schooling.

I have a friend who home schooled his two boys. It came out 50-50. One is a great guy. Has a great job. Married with a kid of his own now. Couldnt ask for anything better. The other was trouble the whole time he was home schooling. Wanting to be with other kids. When he got the chance to, it was the wrong ones. He wanted to be "cool". Hes been in and out of jail and pretty much a meth head.

Im not saying he wouldnt have turned out the same way in public school. Just my experience that it doesnt always work exactly right to home school. They still find a way to get to the bad stuff.
