If you(’re) going to advocate for public schooling, then perhaps it would behoove you to make sure that you(r) grammar is superior to that of homeschoolers.
Twice now, in two different posts, you’ve said *you* instead of *your* (post 20 and 23). Is this an example of what you want homeschooling to bend its knee to?
My children certainly can take SAT’s. And ACT’s as well, and can yours get in the 1500’s on them, as mine did? All three of them?
And end up in the honor’s programs in their respective private university’s programs?
You don’t want to even go there comparing public school kids to mine. My kids would easily toast 95% of the public institutionalized kids any day, and they have. They have the grades to prove it.
You can try to hide it and deflect the argument any way you want, but what you’re advocating for is government control of the education of private citizens. We don’t need the government watching out for us, all for our own good, of course.
The government can’t even make sure that the kids entrusted to them for education get a decent one. How the heck are they going to be able to tell if a child outside their institution is getting a good one.
And nationalized and standardized tests are a joke; an absolute farce.
It’s the failures of the institutionalized public education system who end up with GED’s, not homeschoolers.

Standardized tests are provided by the book manufacturers. If you don’t use “their” books, you don’t get “their” information, so our kids do poorly on “their” tests. My kids would get a lower grade at grade level, EVENTHOUGH they are two years ahead, because they were taught with Alpha Omega’s Switched on Schoolhouse. They would probably even do poorly on the math, depending on the wording of the word problems.
It’s a scam....according to my PS teacher sister.
