Scientific American continues destroying its brand. They could care less about the 79 million school-age children or the 17.3 million kids in high school. To wit:

But children deserve a safe and robust education

Statistic: Percentage of students in grades 9–12 who reported having been in a physical fight in the U.S. in 2019, by location and ethnicity | Statista

I doubt 8% of HSed kids are getting beat up at home.

Government schools need standards that they actually have to live up to.

Get back to us when that happens.

Let the homeschool association set the standard.

The government is the reason so many are homeschooling. Stay out of it.

I have no problem with the homeschool association setting guidelines to help parents know if their child is at grade level in a subject, but keep the government out.

“The federal government must develop basic standards for safety and quality of education in home­school­ing across the country.”

That would be the death knell of homeschooling. The Feds want to bring all schooling (homeschooling and private schools) down to the level of the government schools. The old “I’ve from the federal government and I’m here to help you” should send a shiver up everyone’s spine.

We need to follow our Constitution. The federal government has no right to stick its nose into education. That’s right - the Department of Education has no Constitutional basis and the federal government has no right to regulate home schooling.

Any parent who allows their child to go to a government school is exposing their child to abuse.

too many have suffered horrific abuse

I wondered if they were talking about the abuse in the government schools. There has been plenty of that, starting with indoctrination, all the way up to sexual manipulation and mutilation.

There is no home school association nor should there be.

Until the vastly over funded and extremely violent public school system starts giving a flaming flip about the children in their kiddy prisons they can fluff off.

any standards dictated by the government will guarantee government ordering you to teach your kid woke garbage along with environmental lies.

Amen on steroids.

"Home­school­ing is barely tracked or regulated"

Precisely why homeschoolers are far more successful in life than the indoctrinated morons flowing out of government schools...

Thomas Jefferson was home schooled and he wrote the Declaration of Independence at age 26.

Four of my 10 grandchildren are homeschooled. Three of them are in the Civil Air Patrol, learning to fly, and two of them are planning to apply to the Air Force Academy.

My nephew was attacked at school in front of security. He had his jaw broken and missed 6 weeks of school. The kid that started the fight and broke his jaw missed one day of school. The school refused to prosecute him even with a adult eye witness who was there for security.

Then the video that they said they had of the fight was somehow lost.

On the other hand my daughter who we homeschooled started college when she was 17. She now has to bachelor degrees. The two bachelor degrees biochemistry/cell and molecular biology and anthropology.

I did not want her in public school to pick up the bad habits from other students. My two kids were so well behaved that when the IRS did a audit at my house the auditor was shocked and commented how well behaved they were. As compared to the kid who broke my nephews jaw.
