Re: Texas Board of Education and the Re-writing of American History
I remember a study from not too long ago that showed that home schooled children were head and shoulders above public schooled kids on basic literacy and arithmetic on average. The other thing it showed was that it is much harder for home schooled kids to reach the upper limits of academic abilities at home as opposed to taking AP high school courses. There is a give and take in this, motivated parents teach better on average, but motivated only gets you so far. If I had children and was in a position to do so financially I think I might do a 7 and 8th grade at home, or perhaps a joint home/public like some states offer to get my kids on good footing to get as much out of high school as possible.

If I want my kids to learn about evolution, then they do.If your kids are in public school, then that is what they will learn. Why? Because that is what is testable to the scientific method. Whereas the other thing I think you will mention isn't.

Within the past year Texas Monthly did a really good article on the Texas board of Eduction.... Has some pretty good info, such as the majority of the people sitting on the board send their children to private schools.
