For shining a little light on that myth.

The idea that homeschooled kids are some kind of freakish, feral wolf-children who are part of some local cult and spend all their time huddled in a corner with a pile of books written in 1853 that they must get through else their parents will refuse to allow them a shower is pure ridiculousness.

In fact, the more states like California push legislation that makes it illegal for your child not to be indoctrinated with state money in the name of “fairness” and “opportunity”, the more people are going to realize that homeschooling is quite an option. Get together with some other parents and you can choose your kids classmates, teach them about whatever it is THEY are interested in, and take them to the range for a bit of 2A education if you want.

Your average 5-year-old doesn’t know the story of the Battle of Bunker Hill. Mine has scribbled his interpretation of it with crayons, complete with patriots sitting in trenches, and British with big, white eyes. He’s yet to draw bullets and bloody bayonets, but I’ll say this … when he does, I’ll heap a big pile of ice cream in front of him as a reward. If he did it in a public school, he’d be suspended in order to see a psychiatrist, and I’d be meeting with social services.
