I am not a one-size-fits-all person with respect to education; I understand your point that children do well in different environments. However, you seem to still be stuck on the idea that home education means the parent is a teacher of a school, which makes me wonder whether you understand home education very well. A parent doesn't need to be a teacher in order for their child to be home educated.
Also, not everyone has the luxury to stay home with their child all day
This is another misconception; I know single mothers who work and whose children are educated out of school.
At some point it becomes an elitist thing in which people get smarmy and think they should not have to pay taxes for public education at all because they have the ability to homeschool.
I think you are mistaken about the motives of other people. From my observation it becomes a conservative thing in which people think they should not have to pay taxes for compulsory public education at all because it is unConstitutional and then find a way to be able to home educate in order to be true to their principles.
I think its great we live in a free country where people can make their own choices.
I think making our own choices is wonderful. I think footing the bill for our own choices is good too.
So do you think having state funded university programs is unconstitutional as well?
I think society would be a big mess if public schools were taken away. What about all the bright kids who have parents who couldnt and would not homeschool properly?
You are looking at this issue form the perspective of someone who wants to homeschool. Not everyone could or wants to.
Its sorta like public highway systems. Some things just keep everything flowing smoothly. Maybe homeschoolers should get tax refunds to help them (and you might I don’t know what the tax laws are regarding it).
In the end I think most people prefer traditional schools.
