The article is here. Very sweet. And they homeschool!
This little article has ignited over 4000 comments. And it has only been online for a day. Whew! Read those with discretion–I only glanced at a few and it seems to be pretty intense arguments. Some people seem to think that such families are taking up more than their fair share of the earth or something. I say praise the Lord for families that are training their children at home and seeking to let Him bless them with a quiver full of children!!
One person said: I’m sorry you want to have a few kids, fine…go ahead. but give me a break…15 kids? AND they’re home schooled (how does 1 person educate 15 children at different education levels…pretty tricky)…
A reply: Umm, what kind of schools do you think your ancestors went to? Or did they just not go to school? Years ago, that is the way all schools were, and that is the way they still should be~~kids learn better in a smaller environment. And as for 1 teacher to 15 students~~don’t most public schools have upwards of 20-30 students per teacher??
And I’m sure we can come up with even better responses than that. And this part made me laugh out loud–it sounds like some people are concerned at the amount of “religious zealots” (ie Christians) that might result from so many children! I am posting some of the comment here because the entire post contains inappropriate language.
15 kids: Doing the math under the religious zealots world order it breaks down like this in 30 years, those 15 kids, having 15 kids each will end up with 225. In 30 years, those 225 kids having 15 kids each will end up with 3,375 In 30 years, those 3,375 kids having 15 kids each will end up with a population explosion, in less then 100 years, from two adults to being 50,625 people. That is a moderatly sized city. That is exactly what religious zealots support. That is pure insanity.
Isn’t that great?
