You misspelled "orgy."
Mom actually got them to approve a secular math curriculum for Jr High and High School, which was HUGE.
I wouldn't have thought that math could be non-secular. I mean, it's numbers. What was the non-secular version?

How can math be anything but?
They expelled people for witchcraft -- using dress code violations as evidence.
There are no words.
I think I'm happy that I don't know anything about Bob Jones U.
I never heard the term 'baptistic'. Did you just make it up to describe them, or is it a real thing.
Baptists allowed a prom? Southern Baptists? I mean, the ABC (American Baptist Conference -- Jesse's dad's flavor) has been dancing for years, but they allow women in the ministry, and all sorts of libertine behavior.
Some non-denoms are less fundy, some (as are some Indy Baptists) more so.
In conclusion: SINGLE SEX SIDEWALKS?
Imaginary numbers are totally gay. Anyone who uses them is going to hell.

Well, any curriculum not written by BJ or Pensacola or some other Christian curriculum writer was considered "secular." I'll have to see if I can find out who developed this curriculum.

We had a "Jr/Sr Banquet." It was all very exciting.
Mom and dad actually let me go to after-prom at the local public high school, since I went there for a couple classes. It's where I met my first boyfriend. He was the band director's son. He was a sweetie. But, boy were my parents criticized for letting me date someone from the public school.

Your mom is awesome. I can joke about the prom thing, but I have HUGE (and, apparently, obvious) issues with the fact that S got a really shitty education because so much of the curriculum in 8 years of home schooling and 4 years of really insular Christian schools was designed around
not
exposing kids to this idea or that.
Saxon Math! That was it! [link]
None of the people who went to my H.S. on livejournal seemed familiar to me, but some were scary. I am glad I don't list my high school in my profile. I don't want these people finding me.
Your mom is awesome.
My mom is awesome.
Actually, so is my dad. He taught at one of the colleges that I mentioned above (don't want to give a specific). He left there after the administration decided not to pursue accreditation. It was one of the reasons he took a position as a professor there. He was to develop their Learning Disabilities Education program for accreditation. He felt like he had no point after they decided not to pursue that.
My parents are Christians, but they're educators to the core. And they wanted us to have the best education possible, and did what they needed to for that.
I went to a Southern Baptist college. Dancing on campus was not allowed. I mean, organized dances. You could certainly dance on your own and no one cared. Clubs would host dances off campus as fundraisers.
