What strikes me is how much parents are willing to give away their children’s time and youth to be wasted in the government gulags.
What would it take for parents to pool together as in the old days, one tutor for five kids, if they didn’t want to stay home full-time themselves?
I wish I could homeschool my young ones, but unfortunately I can’t. I do have them in the best private school in our area and we are very involved with their education and there is unlimited communication between the school and us.
I think there are more that have fallen victim to the “tyranny of experts” and have been convinced that they can’t do it as well as an “professional educator”.
Our society has become overspecialized. It leads to efficiencies, but causes inherent weaknesses overall.
