"It is interesting that the go kiss a teacher crowd while demanding absolute worship of teachers are so quick to assume all homeschooling parents are running meth labs. Well, actually, they seem to believe all parents are running meth labs."

If that's what you got from my post...wrong wrong wrong.
First of all... I don't belong to any "go kiss a teacher crowd". I agree there are far too many incompetent teachers protected by tenure.

I never claimed "all" homeschoolers run meth labs.
For cryin' out loud! I agreed that the majority of homeschooling families are doing a great job!!

I was pointing out that not all homeschooling situations are ideal - that there are some incompetent homeschoolers as well, and even some who use "homeschooling" as a cover for abusive or even illegal behavior.

Yes...I do know of a situation where a "homeshooled" kid was being left home alone with the meth lab.

If you're going to criticize someone...take the time to read their post and try to UNDERSTAND their point!

Your flattery of home-schoolers is a Trojan horse through which you are trying to thrust bureaucratic intrusion on home-schoolers. Once the government is allowed to pick and choose who will be allowed to homeschool, no one will be allowed to homeschool.

Drug pushers will not educate their kids in public schools or home-schools. The public schools have never helped the children of criminals.

Goebbels and other socialists used similar techniques to destroy their enemies.You are using an extreme example to scare people who are ignorant and easily led.

Unfortunately, the public schools have produced many people who are easily duped by such tactics.
