Putting the shallow pretense aside, opposition to home-schooling is really driven by its implications for the nation's public school system. However, rather than denying parents what must be deemed a fundamental right, the focus should be on making public education so attractive that more parents will select it.
Instead, the trend is in the opposite direction. Among other things, obsessive secularists and alternative lifestyle advocates have commandeered public education and are holding students hostage to their agendas.
For fed-up parents, home-schooling is one way out. No wonder so many of them are taking it.

ReplyDeleteI agree that advocates for government-run schools should worry a bit less about homeschooling and a whole heck of a lot more about improving the quality of those schools!
