The potential irony of someone deciding to home school to make sure their young get a good scientific view of evolution and the world around us is remarkable.

I have a group of acquaintances who did exactly that. One of the dads was a math prof who was disgusted with the deterioration of the Texas school system, especially in science and math ed. Every summer we did a week-long camping trip with the group of kids to do field observations, experiments, and projects. There was the dad, a mathematician, me (wildlife biologist), and two other profs from the university, a geologist and a botanist. Those camping trips were a blast. Oh, the kids enjoyed them too.
