Homeschooling is great for those who can but most Americans either can’t for financial reasons or can’t due to their own lack of education.
In the end, homeschooling becomes like sending troops to storm the beaches of Normandy while leaving the German weapons factories intact. Fighting on a single front is a losing proposition. We’ve got to fight the whole battle, not just the convenient part.
I don’t even have kids and I’m out there fighting this fight.
I started long before I had a child, and haven't stopped. It was a losing battle in Delaware, so we upped and moved to Virginia. We couldn't be happier. We ran into a problem when she was in 2nd grade and I finally had enough of dealing with the administration (school staff, including the principal was on my side) and went directly to the School Board. Since she is now in 9th grade in the same district, I obviously solved the problems.
It is not unusual for my husband and daughter to run into one of her teachers at the range, we frequently run into one or more of them at the fishing pier or public boats ramps, and in church.
