Embracing quality education

“Home-school” is a dirty word to the people running the National Education Association. But to thousands of families across the United States, educating their children at home is vastly preferable to subjecting them to the proliferation of gangs, sex, drugs and ideological indoctrination that has become so pervasive in America’s public schools, and even some private schools. Indeed, barring the availability of some sort of tax break or school-voucher program, most parents cannot afford to send their children to private school even if they want to. As a result, parents are turning to the home-schooling option in record numbers. And, by most reports, the children in these learning situations are doing very well.

This Sunday, WorldNetDaily staff writer and talk-show host Geoff Metcalf talks with author and home-schooling expert Dr. Isabel Lyman about the current trends in the home-schooling movement including what benefits and problems parents need to be aware of and the resources and opportunities that are now available to home-schooling families. Dr. Lyman’s insights have been published in numerous print and online publications and she has over a decade of actual teaching experience.

During this interview, Metcalf asks Dr. Lyman how difficult or easy it is for home-schooled children to adjust to the rigorous demands of academic life when they move on to university-level programs. Lyman responds:

Well, there have been a lot of kids already who have gone through that – and from what I understand, they do quite well. I mean, the famous family is the Colfax family. There was a home-schooled boy who lived in remote northern California and several of those children. I think three of the boys went on to Harvard – went on to Medical School. From what I understand, these kids did beautifully. And that’s not an exceptional story. We have kids who are graduating from the Naval Academy and from Yale …
