...I've seen kids homeschooled much better'n the public school system could have done it...the mother was dedicated and really TAUGHT them and made them dig and learn...I've seen a half-hearted sleep-in-till 10 effort...and it robbed the kids of an education...

...my three went to public school...and we taught them the points that we were in difference with the school system on at home...they did fine, and learned to interact with others well, which homeschooling misses on...and they think for themselves well, not like funnelheads..when I was a kid, teachers taught the children right and wrong and their moral values...now I thank God that they don't...teachers aren't what they used to be, for the most part...and that's our fault...the community(parents) used to demand the highest standards be met by teachers so the kids would see the example...and the kids knew the teachers really cared for them...too much of the teaching now is to pass the state test and get the school and district a high rating...and I've known kids who graduated and couldn't do basic things that we did in 8th grade...our kids are being robbed...and we're paying for it...
