Some professions require a college degree and to discourage their children from ever going, just because they didn't and "turned out fine", is disturbing.

Many people go thousands into debt for college, and their family does not believe in doing that. I am sure if any of their children wanted to be a doctor or teacher (etc.), they wouldn't have an issue with them going to college. We have family members that went to prestigious colleges, and ten years later they still owe thousands of dollars in student loan debt. My husband who only has an associates degree makes more money than both of the family members who went to very expensive colleges.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-59633487360008495482016-11-02T17:05:33.319-05:002016-11-02T17:05:33.319-05:00Do you live with them?

It would be pretty boring to watch the kids doing their school work all of the time... so we really don't know what they have or haven't learned.

No Duggar will ever be a lawyer or a doctor or a nurse or an engineer or a CPA or a variety of other careers because they won't consider college. And don't say they might, because given how many have graduated high school and none have gone on to college, they obviously do not value it. This is limiting their choices in life.

I think Grace was referring only to how the Duggars educate their children. Also, homeschool students are not required to take the ACT or SAT tests. Many public and private schools require it as another assessment or to encourage college attendance. So, there's likely a pool of more highly motivated homeschooled students taking the tests.
