There does seem a lot of local groups that help with getting together with other homeschooled kids, but most of them seem to be religious-based, which is a concern to me. I'm not opposed to promoting morality and helping others, but I don't want my kids being told that the old testament is literal history and that evolution is an evil lie...
I think most of them are religion based because they don't like the fact that their kids get no religion in school. I'm sure you can find one that's non-fundamentalist though.
I guess the real take-away here though, is that Jake was home schooled. If that's not a case against it, I don't know what it is. zinger!
"Hamilton is really a Colossus to the anti republican party. Without numbers he is an host within himself. They have got themselves into a defile where they might be finished but too much security on the republican part will give time to his talents and indefatigableness to extricate them. We have had only middling performances to oppose to him. In truth when he comes forward there is nobody but yourself who can meet him. His adversaries having begun the attack he has the advantage of answering them and remains unanswered himself. For God's sake take up your pen and give a fundamental reply to Curtius and Camillas" - Thomas Jefferson to James Madison
