Homeschooling Help

From One Homeschooling Mom to Another.
 


Homeschoolers


The following excerpt was taken from The American Vision page, where an atheist responded to one of their articles with the following words:

It’s good that Christians homeschool. We need citizens to clean our toilets and mow our lawns. Perhaps some homeschooled Christians will be able to fill these types of jobs. The rest will be unemployable retards like their parents.

It is incredible how uninformed people can immediately jump to stereotypes and ridiculous claims.  Who is the uneducated one here?
 
Bridgeway Homeschool Academy has graduated several top notch homeschoolers this year alone.  One, an Olympic hopeful will go on to University of Georgia on a full scholarship; another will study political science on a $27,000 per year scholarship; another received a full 6 year scholarship for Physical Therapy. 

Let’s see, who else? 

We have one going on to Harvard–fully funded; another who is currently studying at Oxford; four who plan to study graphic design at various universities; twelve who will study either elementary or secondary education; two who already own their own buisnesses–one in web-development; the other in SEO services. 

We have two who hope to impact politics; eight who will attend university for a liberal arts degree (currently undeclared), and several who have already entered the workforce. 

We have several students who have earned awards and scholarships for their volunteer efforts in their communities–one of which was recognized as an “Outstanding Volunteer” at a major event in the Lehigh Valley. 

These are just a few stories from our graduating class. 

So, Mr. Atheist–when you grow up to be old and the country’s leaders are today’s homeschoolers, I trust that you will then be thankful for the time and commitment that these outstanding parents are investing in their cihldren today.
