[QUOTE="KDM, post: 483556, member: 314"] Neighbors home schooled their boys. Same lessons were taught that the public school kids were taught. The HUGE difference is that they instilled the morals, values, and life lessons they wanted to instill and not some political party. They were also able to teach both their sons shop, auto mechanics, home ec, hunting, fishing, carpentry, welding, livestock husbandry, gardening, how to run and use a tractor/skid steer, and all those wonderful skills and lessons NOT taught in public schools. Both can drive a stick shift. Their youngest will have his pilots license at 18 and the oldest is working as a mechanic for now and hitting diesel mechanic training this fall. Fine and respectful young men. They ran a fencing operation as summer income since they were 12 and 13, and did very well. Not afraid of hard work, dirt, sweat, and don't have their faces stuck in their phones all day or complaining about politics. Both take responsibility for their actions and hold themselves accountable for their mistakes. I'm very impressed with both these young men if you hadn't figured it out. That is what they taught their sons in home school. Oh and I forgot to mention ACCOUNTING and economics. Both have their own money/checkbooks/cards, their own trucks they pay for, they know how credit works and what interest does to a loan. They understand investments, long term planning, and the biggie.............they were taught about GIRLS and how relationships should work. By their mother I should add. [/QUOTE]
