And they shouldn't be taught, for example, that it is heroic for a child to burn down a new restaurant to save "ground owls" (one story that is read to many public school children between ages 10 and 12).
So they come home and you have a conversation and that solves the problem doesn't. Don't get me wrong I am not a fan of public schools I just think home schooling is worse.
Choices is what makes this country great. To send my child into a school that is rift with drugs(drug dealers), guns, and violence in city schools that are out of control, where student ratio next year will be 1:35+ all in favor of teaching my child about the social ills and how to cope? That is abuse on my part. My child deserves better than this, any child deserves better than this, and if it means homeschooling to ensure they learn the proper skills to be a success in life and not just survive life, then homeschooling is where my children will be. They don't need to go to school to learn about life's social ills, they see more than enough of it on the streets as it is.
Parenting is the key, not where the kids are taught.
