ALL academically successful children are homeschooled. This is true even if they go to school.

I'd be careful of such hyperbole. It only takes one exception to prove you wrong, and there are children out there who succeed in spite of, rather than because of, their home life.

These children are academically successful in spite of wasting a lot of time in a toxic environment.

Unfortunately, for many students the home is the toxic environment.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Every child in a government school is in a toxic environment even in the very best.

It is not normal or healthy to segregate children in to same aged packs and herd them about like cattle to the sound of Pavlov's bells.

No matter how vigilant the teacher the alpha girls and bullies will be cruel out of the sight of the teachers.

It is emotionally abusive to continually frustrate the slower learner by introducing new material too quickly. It is equally abusive to the bright child to bore them. Both are taught to hate learning.

If a child is taught at home the parent KNOWS that their child will not be sexually, verbally, or physically abused, or offered drugs by the other students or ( sadly) the teacher and other school personnel.

It is emotional abusive for the government to force child into its buildings and then actively and maliciously undermine their most precious religious and cultural beliefs and thereby teach them to distrust their parent's wisdom.

Government schools never were and never will be politically , culturally, or religious neutral. It is a human rights abuse to for the government to favor the values of some while trashing those of others.
