I went to public schools. My parents made me study. Therefore, I received a good education.
All academically successful children are homeschooled. The only thing a government school is doing is sending home a curriculum for the parents and child to follow.
Sometime sending a kid to school is a lot more work that just doing the homeschooling yourself!
That’s admirable and I’m sure it’s true.
It is also anecdotal and does not counter the objective evidence which suggests a public school education is usually inferior to alternatives.
In addition, there are numerous reasons to home school or private school your children that have nothing to do with academics.
That is the situation I am in.
The school my children attend is a better academic environment than the local public schools, yes, but the real reasons I sign those checks with a smile each month have much more to do with the fact that they are in a clean, safe environment that still teaches decent classical American and Judeo-Christian values.
