Almost died laughing....

In doing some research for work, I ran across a message board that had this helpful snippet in it. Check out the link with famous homeschooled people...it's hilarious, and sad. All at the same time.

"School in America is only a few hundred years old (200?), and many successful people were homeschooled. President Andrew Johnson's wife taught him to read as an adult, and Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence by reading hundreds of books. Take a look at a list of famous homeschoolers (like http://www.knowledgehouse.info/famous.html). Maybe your daughter will be on that list one day! Good luck with your new endeavor! And remember, you taught her how to talk, walk, and feed herself. The rest is easy! ;)"

Yes. Because I want my kids to grow up to be Civil War doctors.

I suggest that this person should go to the wikipedia article on Thomas Jefferson and read the section about early childhood and education.

Mom went to the blog and I couldn't understand the first comment written by the Dad. It didn't make sense to me. HELP
