I have never claimed that all homeschooling is superior in all ways to all classroom schooling. That would be pretty foolish, wouldn't it?

Homeschooling does make for an immensely enriched homelife. It can also lead to greatly improved skills in self-teaching (my son Ben taught himself Algebra I and scored at the 96 %ile in the State of Tennessee standard normed tests)--- and you might want to look up what Einstein said about how "school" almost drove him away from Physics permanently!

Some students manage to avoid the toxic elements and have a wonderful classroom experience. To them I tip my hat and say, more power to you.

The big boon to home schooling is your kid may not end up as smart but they will also escape the manditory psychological problems. Personally we're strongly considering private school in Russia to avoid subjecting our children to American schools, and there's no way we'd opt for public. (Our children aren't of school age as yet).

Well you must be a good teacher! My opinion is probably biased because i went to a good school system, but i don't think you can teach your child as well as people who are experts in that field. I think when your child enters high school there's no way you can keep up with people who have masters degrees in what they are teaching.

BTW Einstein is an anomaly, he is at a level you and i cannot comprehend. You can't teach an Einstein, or a Telsa, or a Newton.
