What I did say was that schools must have standards. Seems clear enough that without them, education doesn't happen.

Standards? Really?

Homeschoolers don't have standards and they are knocking the socks off the government schooled kids.

The people in the best position to set standards are parents, teachers, and principals in private settings in either private schools or homeschools.

"Homeschoolers don't have standards and they are knocking the socks off the government schooled kids."

Yes, I think homeschoolers do have standards, it's just that their standards are a lot higher than the ones used by public schools, which is why homeschoolers beat the socks off the public school kids. What you mean is that homeschoolers don't have standards that are set by some state agency.

The reason privates schools and homeschoolers are so much better than public is precisely because they do have standards, and high ones at that.
