Pondering Wearing A Hat
I'm taking French II this year from the high school. Through middle school I took Intro to Spanish from my mother and Spanish I from someone else at a co-op.
We also speak a little Spanish around the home.
Tak, you are a funny guy. I would be willing, but perhaps not for me. Maybe PianoStudent.

My belief in Christianity was not created by me being homeschooled, it was created by God rocking my world. Nothing my parents had done could ever make me be a Christian.

Unfortunately, I don't know Sisihkat's real name, so I can't tell them whom to hire.
Ditto.

Ironically, if my family had had Muslim (Or any other) beliefs, nothing would have ever happened.
@Verarde- Have you ever been to public school? What did you think of it?

Really now? So I guess my lack of faith just means God just doesn't care for me, and is not in any way due to my family and schooling being non-religious. Seems very Calvinist.
Ha, ask a downtown.
My answer for both of you is the same, I think it's a bad idea. I think it is always a bad idea to make a college choice that is going to close doors for you. Picking a college that is hyperfocused on a tiny handful of programs, while being really BAD at most others is dumb, whether its because its a crazy jesus school, or a tech school without English, or whatever.
The FBI and CIA do a lot of recruiting at very religious colleges. I know the FBI in particular has a huge recruiting pipeline with BYU, which again would be a school i'd plug if you're dying for a very conservative, religious institution that also has an actual academic reputation....but Baylor, SMU, Notre Dame and others get that same attention.
PHU was tight with Bush administration officials and the Ralph Reed wing of the Republican Party, but it has a lot of baggage that other, similar schools don't have. Why limit yourself?
And yeah, going to a school that shunts off other ideas will NOT prepare you to be a good lawyer, or law school applicant.

What classes have you taken in "normal" schools? What are the most notable differences between those classes and the ones you take at home? How did they differ from your expectations?

I'm assuming this one was directed at me.
Mainly, I take electives now, which out of laziness we didn't do in homeschool (Wasn't my fault or intentional, crap just happened
) Also, I go to a Law Enforcement class for a couple hours a day, that's definitely my favorite part of the day

Verarde, actually, since he's mentioned doing French and Bio.

Ah, apologies
Ask in two weeks, I haven't been in it long enough (2 days) to really know

If I know the classical Christian worldview to be false, is it still morally permissible to support your parents in homeschooling you?

This sound like someone is preparing for the return of the inquisition in the case of eventual US break up as their economy crashes and they run out of oil. /half kidding conspiracy

I was in a public school from 3rd-5th grade.
French 1 and Biology last year at the high school. French 2 and Chemistry this year at the high school.
French is quite simple for me, Biology was as well. Chemistry not so sure, but so far I seem to understand the concepts we've talked about.
I think the most notable difference is that the ones in the public school feel much easier (as in, less rigorous) than my home classes. I keep hearing how high school is supposed to be like having homework that keeps you up all night, and so far I haven't experienced that, as all my homework is done before 3:00 on most days.
You don't know that it is false. You believe that it is false. Because of that, I can't offer an opinion on your question. You would have to decide that on your own.
No, you didn't understand my question, I used know, because that's what I meant.
#1. Assume the classical Christian worldview is false.
#2. Assume I believe #1.
#3. Is it still morally permissible to support your parents in homeschooling you?

Depends on what is true instead. If Fundamentalist Islam was true instead and all non-Muslims were going to burn in Hell for all eternity and you believed this, probably not. If a more liberal/unitarian faith (Whether Christian or not, but definitely not "Classical") than it wouldn't really matter as you're all on the same road anyway. If atheism is true, it doesn't really matter either, unless his parents were teaching him stuff that would make it difficult or impossible to function in society (Hint, how old the Earth is makes no difference in our daily lives.)
