Homeschooling isn't the end-all, be-all

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

Yes, it is.

Homeschooling is the most natural and healthy way to raise a child to a secure and educationally competent adulthood.

Yes, some children will need to be institutionalized for their schooling. That is a shame. I am sorry. We need orphanages too but no one would suggest that this is the most normal or healthy way to raise a child.

Please don't confuse the institution of school with that of an orphanage. How ridiculous. It is no more natural than any other way. School isn't natural at all, period. Children learn in different ways. Homeschooling has wonderful advantages and good points. My son would have been a prime candidate for homeschooling, but it was in its infancy then and we didn't have nearly the information and resources we have now. The point is that nobody should crucify someone for NOT homeschooling their children. There are pros and cons to both. I'm glad for homeschoolers and think it's a great thing, but you are wrong. It is not the end-all, be all. If it were, then you'd have medical students being homeschooled.
