Hi all...
Today I watched W. on On Demand. I wasn't into politics much during the Bush era but I did not know that Laura was very adamant about educational reform. W. did his best, I suppose, with that but I don't know what noise people have been making on homeschooling so I decided to do some research. In my research, I found out that in 2002-2003, in the United States, there were an estimated 1,700,000 to 2,100,000 children (grades K-12) that were home educated. It's apparently the fastest growing kind of education and I believe it is because of the decline in the morale of our younger generations. Violence, sex, drugs and young influences are threatening to parents and that is why there is this need for parents to take charge and control what their children learn. Hmm...I'll be back another day to see if I can find out what percentages of those children ended up in higher education and were able to succeed in their careers. Take care for now. Carpe Diem!
