All parents homeschool until they turn their children over to the government’s professionals who overwhelmingly support the socialist agenda of the left. At least that is how they vote, despite what they may say when you asked them pointed questions.
Moreover, unless parents move their child spends their 12+ years in school with the same cohort. This is how peer pressure becomes more dominant in their lives than the preferences and instruction of the parents.
As a homeschooling dad, our child learned to interact and socialize with children that had a wide range in age, and because homeschooling parents shared education duties, to interact with adults as well.
Since a person who teaches a subject has to be familiar with it, a homeschooling parent gets to revisit topics and facts they had long forgotten. It is a win-win situation to homeschool your child for as long as you can.
On another level...
I was thinking that too often Christians think that The Battle is "over there." Afghanistan. Washington... Somewhere else.
But the battle for souls is with us every day. The Battle is at our place of work. The Battle is at home.
We can't pull the cover over our heads. We have to stand where we are and fight where we are. Don't leave The Battle to someone else.
Homeschooling often takes heroic virtue. But that's what we're called to.
