re: Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Bartholet - Homeschooling should be banned

SlowFlow, you weren't aware that our nation is founded on the government's rights??? What, were you homeschooled or something?

---

the scarier issue is she said "government"

i'll bet a large amount of money when she does this, her mental priming/biases think of a national government

when in reality, it's governments, b/c we have 50 states each with their own systems and then those systems are usually more run by county-level governmental systems. so even with her preposterous comment, which government's rights should we be discussing?

1) children were educated in their homes for a long time before the first public school opened, and the USA did okay

2) contrary to what porn says, much less likely a teacher r classmate will be fricking a student in a homeschooling situation

These geniuses also misspelled arithmetic.

I agree with your point. The greater percentage of parents do homeschool because that is what is best for their child and the child flourishes. My original point was that not all parents choose to homeschool for the righteous reasons. I agree with the author on that point. In some cases its not what’s best for the child, not even close. The percentage of parents who homeschool their kids because they are too lazy, drugged out, don’t have it together enough to bring their child to school or get them on the bus, the child is too out of control to behave at school, and etc. is growing every year. These parents choose to homeschool because it’s a lot easier for them honestly. No schedule or routine, no fighting with their to do homework, no emails or calls from teachers telling them their child couldn’t behave. It’s easier to just keep them at home and claim they are being homeschooled.

This paragraph here...doesn't mean the government should be able to ban home schooling. In shocking news, it means children are impacted by the decisions of their parents.

“We have an essentially unregulated regime in the area of homeschooling,”

Oh my God. We can't have anything unregulated! Except that it does have regulations.

It's not your child. Mind your own damn business.

Ivy League faculty? Check.

A lawyer? Check.

Thinks she knows frick all about anything other than the law (like primary or secondary education), when she doesn't know anything at all about it? Check.

Despite not knowing shite about it, voices a stupid, unsupportable position? Checkity check.

more like Elizabeth Baphomet, am i right?

she ain't a fricking lawyer. we can't even claim her

and if you mean me, i haven't made a pun in a legal brief in years

I believe that a greater percentage of homeschooling moms give their best effort every day than public school teachers.

Hopefully the students’ parents are giving more effort than teachers. A public school teacher’s job is exponentially more difficult than a homeschool teacher.

Lack of parent involvement is the problem with public schools, not bad teachers. Pretending that public school teachers don’t have oversight is laughably incorrect.
