Christian homeschoolers cry discrimination after trade schools ask for proof they learned something

45. i hear ya. me too.

my son is now working on a phd in theoretical math after graduating first in his class from uic. went straight into the phd program on a full boat scholarship.

it is really sad that the few bad apples are held up here on a progressive website. there is a vast left wing of the movement. many abhor the dumbing down of textbooks and the intrusion of religion in the public schools.
many just have kids who are too smart for schools that dont value gifted kids, or uphold their right to "an appropriate education". but talk about that right here, and yes, be called an elitist and more. talk about that right for a kid with learning disabilities, or a handicap of some sort, and they will bring out the torches and pitchforks to defend it.

when my son was ready for school there was no such thing as aspbergers. he is likely on the spectrum. he was painfully shy, and obsessed w fairness, which was going to be a problem in a factory school. but he is very happy now that he has found his tribe, and has many friends.

i feel ya.
