Oh, it doesn't fit. But comments like yours generate a lot of animosity toward home-schoolers. Personally, I admire most of those who homeschool their children, especially the ones that don't disparage everyone who "sends their children to government schools" every time the subject of education is brought up. But invariably, someone will chime in with the "sending children to public school is a form of child abuse" line. That will bring out the anti-homeschooling crowd and they will use the home-schooled teenager who murdered the parents of his home-schooled girlfriend as a broad brush to ridicule all homeschoolers. Pretty soon, you get a flame war and nobody even remembers the original topic of the thread.

Right.

And our presence in Iraq encourages more terrorism...
