Let me share a personal story with everyone here.

I have a sister who is bat crap insane (she is literally about one snake handling session short of joining up with the westboro crazies). Her children were home-schooled and don’t know jack crap because homeschooling was just an excuse to keep them in the crazy christian cowboy cult that she was a part of. Her family is one of the worst examples of homeschooling gone horribly horribly wrong.

Am I against homeschooling?

NO, I am very much pro-homeschooling.

Why, because I realize that people home-school for various reasons.

Some do it for all the wrong reasons, MANY do it to teach their children more than public schools ever could and also to foster a sens of learning that lasts a lifetime in their children.

Just like gun control, why should the BAD exceptions to the rule ruin it all for the multitude that are doing good by protecting their families?

People buy guns for different reasons, a MAJORITY of people buy guns for either PROTECTION or for hunting, however a small MINORITY buy guns for Mischief. Why should a small group of bad actors be used as an excuse to punish the vast MAJORITY of GOOD ACTORS???

Because these control freak liberals love to use ANY small minority of BAD ACTORS as an excuse to invite in government o ruin it all for the MAJORITY of people who are GOOD CITIZENS!

Even with your bat crazy sister, who knows? Her children might have been worse off in a brick and mortar government school. It is impossible to do a double blind study on individual children or even on groups of children.

And....There absolutely are government schools that are so dangerous and so emotionally and spiritually toxic that a child would be better off with no schooling whatsoever than to ever step foot into those horrific places. Illiteracy and innumeracy can be fixed. Death or permanently disabled can't be.
