Do you care if "retards" and "dullards are home schooled?

Not in the least. Let them be schooled in whatever way possible [albeit the cheaper the better], since I do not expect much [if anything] from them - if they keep out of trouble and off the dole, it's good enough. I am much more concerned about the gifted children, for these are the seed corn of the civilization.

It seems to me, the less intelligent among the public school students are typically being short-changed on a daily basis by being shuffled along from grade to grade, without mastering much of the material, only to either drop out before graduating, or to graduate with a diploma that doesn't mean much academically.

IF the parents are motivated to teach their "less gifted" child at home, to achieve his or her highest potential, then that is the better outcome.
