Are you kidding?
I think that you should get out more———public school kids do NOT all turn out to be social pariahs.

“Ask yourself how much you can pay someone to love your child as much as you do? Sort of like asking someone else to guard your money. “

The bank guards my money-—I didn’t know that was a bad thing.

I think that you should get out more———public school kids do NOT all turn out to be social pariahs. And that's in spite of the public education system, not because of it.
Because it isn't for a lack of trying on the school's part.
You sound like a public school teacher trying to save their job. We had public school teachers in our church always asking her math questions and what books she has read. She had read over 100 books by the 8th grade. I know kids that have never finished a real book in their life. Of course every child doesn't end up a pariah, but they won't have the values they could have if mom and dad cared enough to raise them themselves. Most of the home school curriculum are Bible based. If you are satisfied with humanistic/ atheistic philosophy being ingrained in your child, then they have to end up with moral relativity. They have the morals they are taught that change depending on the situation. At some point in every public school child's life, they will exhibit what they have learned. They will lie, disrespect parents and authority, bully, fight, backbite, and many other traits handed to them in school. You don't have to sell drugs to be a moral reprobate. How about cruelty to animals? How about staying out all night and the parents think he is somewhere else? How about getting the wrong change back and keeping it? You think it up, because kids today have NO MORALS. The same kid that will lie about where he is is just as likely to get a girl pregnant.
For 12 years, I knew EXACTLY where my daughter was and what she was doing. The things we did were with the church and we went with her on church functions. She did NONE of these things because she couldn't get away with it. She has graduated college and is a police officer and we are very proud of her. She is kind, truthful, takes no drugs except prescriptions, and didn't live with her boyfriends. She's 34 now, so I have no say in her life, but I know the foundation she has is rock solid.
I know she would be a different woman now if she grew up in public school.
Again, home school is a definite option for people that love their child. If you can't stand to be with them, send them to public school.
