More proof the South in not as smart as the North.

The family sending all ten of their home-schooled children to college by the age of 12

A mother who home-schools her ten children in Montgomery, Alabama, has opened up about how six of them began their college degrees by the age of 12.


Those of the Harding siblings who have already graduated from college have gone on to become a doctor, an architect, a spacecraft designer and a master's student. Another two - 12 and 14-years-old - are still finishing up their degrees.


But despite the Hardings' incredible achievements at such young ages, their parents - Mona Lisa and Kip - insist they are a family of 'average folks' who simply find and cultivate their children's passions early on.

*lmao* I'm guessing that the OP is not related in any way to that family.

I think it just is another example of how college has been over-emphasized during my lifetime. I can only think of one person who didn't go into college straight out of high school in the one I graduated from and that he went into the army. Now we have more degrees than jobs that actually need them but "we still don't have enough college graduates."

Quite possibly it was an attempt at sarcasm by someone who doesn't understand how sarcasm works. That would actually be much more fitting given the OP. *LOL*

It'd be more impressive if those kids went to real schools and not fake bible colleges.
