Based on SAT scores, the National Spelling Bee, and overall behavior, the "well intentioned amateurs" are by far doing a better job than the so-called "educated" professional teachers. Screw the public schools, that's what they do to their students and the people who pay for their big government social experiment. The worst thing I've seen in my life time is the total monopoly of governments schools and the death of parochial and private schools.

Somewhat flawed...the stats have been derived by homeschooling advocates who take a sample of homeschooled children against the whole of public school educated ones. A better sample would be to compare homeschooled kids against a subset of public school students who have parental involvement. And, when that comparison is made, the homeschooled kids place well-behind their competition.

the death of parochial and private schools.



I don't think this is true. I graduated from Catholic school and the kids in my family all go to Catholic School (nephews). Mine go to DODDS right now, but will go back to Catholic School when we return to the states.
