There are so many ridiculous remarks in this article. It's always the same old tired stuff about what a sacrifice it is for a parent to stay home and teach (i.e. go to work like good little citizens and leave the children to the 'experts' in thr government day-care program), socialization (i.e. they might not act how 'we' experts want them to act- like brain washed, socialist zombies). What they really can't stand is that homeschoolers have shown time and again that they can educate their children at a fraction of the cost, at a fraction of the time and produce well-rounded children while their system proves over and over again to be a failure at ten times the price.
This will be my second year homeschooling and I absolutely love it. Any time someone tries to bring up those talking points about why I should send them to school, I just laugh. They have no idea what they're talking about.

I have had doubts over the years, but my almost-15 year old daughter is now starting to show us that we did make the best choice.
