I’ve always avoided it because I didn’t think we could do it, but home schooling is starting to become a very serious consideration in my mind.
...do you seriously believe that homeschooling, should it attain any type of sustainable foothold in our society, will be allowed to stand by the government education politburo...that the teacher’s unions and local school boards will not stop it in its tracks, or that they will not have the power to do so...
...we continue our descent into oblivion...and we keep deluding ourselves as we do so...
It’s already gained a foothold, and families prepared to fight like mad dogs to keep that right. In the worst case, some territories or states would be more friendly than others, as is now the case, and I could see a “free states/slave states” situation setting up.
That, and homeschooling gets the most “troublesome” families out of the system, from the viewpoint of the teaching establishment. An aggressive, all-out pursuit could lead to the current cold civil war getting very hot indeed.
