EVERY parent is a teacher - regardless of whether they homeschool or not. My conclusion on the topic of schooling - whatever your choice, if the parent is involved with the kids, it'll turn out fine!! There are a couple of moms at church who's kids go to public schools and I can honestly say I hope my kids turn out like theirs. Homeschool is not a guarantee of good kids. I know some pretty ill behaved homeschool kids and some ill behaved public school kids. The parents make the difference, IMHO!
I couldn't agree more. We're not perfect, but we're doing the best we can and learning as we go!
