I'm curious... do you know anything about homeschooling?

For instance, home schooling parents are, on average, more educated than 
the average parent.  Many times, they are more educated than the average 
teacher.

Or that home school kids participate in more extracurricular activities 
than non-homeschoolers?

Of course, there is also test scores...

But by all means, continue using your stereotype that has no connection 
to reality.  Kinda like what Beck and Limbaugh are known to do from time 
to time. ;)
