No need to get upset. I am not against home schooling. I just think that folks need to be aware of all resources out there.
I am not so sure that ‘times have changed’. I think some of it depends on where one lives and what the parents are like in the local school district.

Why would you think I’m upset? I’m confident in my posts and the education of my children.
If anything, I’m amused!
First of all, that you honestly think that parents need to have a hard working knowledge of all subjects to educate their children, when the internet is open to everyone.
Second, that you think the phase “times have changed” is what I’m talking about. There were druggies, drunks, lesbians and homosexuals hanging around when I was in school back in the 60’s. So? The point is whether or not, to get a free government education, I want to drop my 12-year-old into the middle of it with no parental support. I don’t. I don’t have to.
As for “where one lives and what the parents are like”, may I suggest that you look into the STD epidemic in Georgia. Best neighborhoods, best parents, bad result.
