Some teachers seem to just go through the motions.

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.

Lots of families send all their kids to college. Is this an unusual achievement for a home schooling family? I'm wondering why this is news.

I'm betting I could find a family of 10 who sent their kids to public school where all went to college. What would I prove by doing so?

Liberals who praise the virtues of public indoctrination centers just can't come to grips with the fact that these home schooled children weren't exposed to their radical ideology and are doing more with their lives then these same liberals could ever dream of achieving.

It is a story because liberals hate home schooling because it means that students aren't indoctrinated in liberalism.

Liberals always claim that home schooled children can't succeed.

These kids proved the lefties wrong.

Maybe you should have read the article and not just the headline, the kids were in college at the age of 12.

OK, wait...what???

So, sending kids to college at the age of 12 proves the South is not as smart as the North? Do you live in bizarro land?
