This is true about the secondary education. Not sure if you all viewed the Ben Stein piece, concerning some of this, but professors are losing their jobs in state and private schools for suggesting that Creationism is valid and should be explored. I pray that our state and country will not try to infringe upon the freedom to raise and teach children the way the parents are led to. As long as the homeschool family keeps good academic records and tests students regularly, the state and federal government should be hard presssed to find a legitimate reason to challenge this freedom.

This report is encouraging to me. We have been homeschooling now for 6 years. We have explored private education as well and have found that the quality and quanity of education and family time are dramatically increased with homeschooling. In a day when parents have to worry if their child will be assaulted, physically or mentally in public/private school, homeschooling is the only responsible choice for our family. Our children love being home and we are creating memories and bonds that will last a lifetime. In addition, I test my children with the standardized test at year end, through Bob Jones University Press; their annual standardized tests scores are two years above grade level. With all the benefits and blessings we have received from this choice, we are so thankful to be in a country and a state that is supportive of homeschoolers. Blessings to all of you!
