 It's just amazing how a student can go to school for 12 years and not be able to even read. And if he can't read, he can't learn. But many individuals have taken responsibility for their own children's education, and they've taught them how to read outside of the system. Homeschooling is really the best option available for parents who don't want their children to be dumbed down and mentally harmed and spiritually harmed in these government schools. The explosive growth of the homeschool movement, you have something like 6 million kids in the United States right now being homeschooled.
