Homeschoolers pass the torch: Meet three homeschooled Generation X couples who have learned how to succeed and who intend to pass on this legacy by teaching their own children at home. (Education).

Leave it to the National Education Association to be behind the times. Every year at their annual convention, they craft a lame resolution that denounces home educators. According to last year's Resolution B-69, "home schooling programs cannot provide the student with a comprehensive education experience."

It may come as a shock to the NEA, but many homeschooled students have already received a "comprehensive education." In fact, some have graduated, grown up, and become productive members of their communities.

They are successful entrepreneurs, military officers, and public officials. They have graduated from medical, law, and graduate school. Sometimes they even marry fellow homeschoolers. And guess what? Some of those couples are now schooling their own children at home.

Meet three couples who are members of Generation X -- the Martins, the Murpheys, and the Ledfords.

The Martins

Tim Martin, 28, and his wife, Amy, 27, live in Whitehall, Montana, with their three children -- Micaiah, 6, Caleb, 4, and Joelle, 2. Tim is a small business owner and a church elder. The oldest of six children, Tim was homeschooled from 5th grade through 11th grade in Florida, while Amy, one of five children, was taught at home during her elementary school years in Colorado. They both graduated from private, Christian schools. Together, they are homeschooling their brood.

"Education just works better one on one. No school environment -- no matter how much money, no matter how good -- can compete with homeschooling in this," remarks Tim. "Why do we think the 'right' way to do education is to put 20 or 30 children in a classroom with one teacher? The model is more fit for manufacturing than education."
