Home school all you want.

One day your children are going to have to step out into the real world.

You can’t protect them forever.

No, you cant protect them forever,but you can certainly equip them and give them the truth about our society,history,math,logic,and the ability to critically think and view the world. Protection comes from the understanding of the knowledge given to them. It is powerful, but only when they have a clear understanding of why and why not!

Mike,

While their is truth to what you say their is also truth to the fact most people are pretty set in their beliefs by the time they are 20. Some will radically change but for the most part people sway to the left or right just a bit.

Id rather have my 17yo going to college who has been taught right from wrong than send on who was taught wrong *is* right.

My mother would sit with me at night and watch the news, we would discuss it, she would ask me about what I learned at school and we would discuss it...

I’ll never forget the time in 7th grade I came home and told her how cool communism was... She shot it down in 5 minutes and I have never looked back.

The problem is not exclusively the schools but the parents not being active in their kids moral education. Chances are if you are a home schooler you ar active in your kids moral education (though you dont need to be a home schooler for that)

Who said anything about protecting them from the world? Apparently you know little about good home schooling. FYI: I am an educator who worked in the public school system for several years. Although there are some good schools, they are few and good home schooling assures quality and achievement with plenty of access to the real world. ;-)
