The American super wealthy homeschool their own kids—even in California.

I don't want to be mean...but I am sitting here in my $35,000 house and laughing at you. Perhaps I'll go out to my used 2001 truck later and laugh at you again. Ooh, or maybe the '93 Buick!

You really shouldn't make authoritative statements on this subject if you have no idea who and what you're discussing. One of the homeschoolers I know is a CNA, and another CNA has asked my wife to recommend homeschooling groups to her. Also, the only "super-wealthy" homeschooler I'm aware of is Wil Smith. I'm sure there are others, but the point is that mainly those who are wealthy enough to send their kids to a private school that reflects their values do so. Trust me on this, I'm the Cubmaster of the Catholic elementary school's Cub Scout Pack. In fact, I read that Smith keeps his kids home because he couldn't find a private school as advanced as he wanted. He has a tutor who had these kids reading Plato's Republic while they were in short pants.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I don't think Salty Joe is saying only the super wealthy homeschool their kids.

However, the super wealthy are part of Arnold Schwarzenegger's pals. ( Isn't Will Smith, the actor, homeschooling his son?) Arnold is more likely to pay attention when his pals get punched in the nose by a stupid judge. He will pay attention when he suddenly has fewer education options for his own kids.
