Well, I may have to agree with you there, but just because you had terrible parents who apparently didn't give a damn about their kids doesn't mean others do.
I didn’t have terrible parents....my point was that only a small percentage of American parents have the resources to home school their children. I’m all for home schooling if practicable. But the facts are in most cases either both parents work, the parents are not qualified to teach, or both. If the parent is qualified, fine. But how many parents are qualified to teach higher level math, physics, and chemistry? Don’t expect every family to be able to pull their kids out of school and home school them.
