re: Question about home schooling

You gave me 3 or 4 examples out of 3000. I'm with you, I'm not anti-homeschooling. But a lot of the time it is in the faith-based interest of the parents, not in the education-based interest of the kids. I grew up all around it. It varies greatly, as do the outcomes.
FWIW, I haven't seen any "disasters" from homeschooling. I have seen products of homeschooling who are far behind their peers, but typically parents who are willing to put in the effort for homeschooling are at least attentive, which is probably (and sadly) better than average.

If public education was doing a bang-up job, there would be a better argument against homeschooling. As the situation stands, there's very little to argue against homeschooling.

Parental involvement is a major factor in the success of a child in any type of school. If the parents were not willing to put forth the necessary effort in homeschooling, it is unlikely they would have been any more involved if their child was in a traditional school, and the outcome would have been similar.
