Midknight Review -- new and revised: Home-schoolers are socially involved and often preferred as collegiate prospects.

The numbers may surprise you. There are more than 2 million homeschooling students in the United States today. Homeschooling is on the rise, gaining ground by as much 12% each year. Parents are harnessing the power of technology and the online environment to provide new ways for children to reach their full academic potential. Families build stronger relationships through increased interaction and shared goals.

When parents explore the possibility of educating their children at home, they are finding that:

Research shows homeschooled students are just as involved in extracurricular activities as students in private schools and considerably more so than public school students.
Homeschoolers, on average, outperform public and private school counterparts by 30 to 37 points in all subjects on skill assessment tests.
College programs are beginning to actively seek out homeschooled students as they are more academically prepared for higher learning.

The results of a study conducted by Dr. Gary Knowles of the University of Michigan found that none of the homeschooled students were unemployed as adults and none were on government assistance programs.
Adults who were homeschooled are more than twice as likely to be involved in community service.
90% of homeschooled adults report they are glad they were homeschooled, and 80% plan on homeschooling their own children.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
