[Abusive and ignorant parents, who are poor teachers, give homeschoolers like myself and others a bad reputation.]
Abusive and ignorant teachers and judges and legislators, who are poor at wisdom and bad at teaching, give homeschoolers and others a bad reputation in their quest to put all children into failed perverse culture institutions of lower learning is what I see.
Considering the 20-year history this family has had with the state having to step in when children end up going to the hospital for being out past 9, being sexually molested, etc., I just hope all works out for the kids.
And of course, the judge is just following the law that was created by the legislators, as you said. Perhaps you believe there should be no required school/homeschool attendance, and I can understand that argument, but I think it’s a debatable question.
