Quote by: Keith Hamburger Did I mention happily married? Did I mention his wonderful son? Is showing skills in several areas that promote independence not an example of "well rounded and successful" which is what the initial question was?
Or do you consider something other than a wide variety of interests, strong knowledge in a number of areas and a happy family do be the definition of "well rounded and successful"?
As I said above, he said "well-rounded and successful". I guess you should give us your definition of that and show us how government education does a better job.
OK. Let's go for some testimonials from the book ...
...
I've seen it myself dozens of times. Especially in the most intelligent students who either withdraw into themselves or lash out when they start to get even an inkling of what school is doing to them as individuals.
You cite a single example of a child misled by their parents but I could easily find thousands of children who have been destroyed by government education, in the town I live in alone.
My stepson I mentioned earlier who is in prison has been shown to have an IQ in the 140 range. His sister, at least that. What did government eduction do for them?

None of which is empirical, scientific data. Give us something besides purely anecdotal evidence about how great your son is (coming from his dad no less! how objective!) or about other individuals.
In short, you haven't put forth any proof that what you are saying is anything but huffing and puffing.
