However, you’re ignoring the fact that careful attention to curriculum, attitudes, lesson plans, etc is a central part of homeschooling, whether a parent does the majority of the teaching or uses co-ops, tutors, community colleges, etc to supplement the child’s education.

I was merely countering the previous poster's assertion that I view enrollment of my children in public school as a transfer of my responsibilites to the school. I was not speaking of home schooling parental responsibilities.

I’ve got news for you: real conservatives are outnumbered a lot more than 3-1 in the public schools, and the ratio only gets worse as you move into high school...

Please re-read my post. My claim was that conservatives in general will be outnumbered at the ballot box 3-to-1, not in the public schools. And that includes your homeschooled kid. The difference is my kids will have experience countering the liberal mindset.

I'd like nothing more than to see the NEA dismantled, and primary education completely privatized. The simple fact is that the public schools system has grown too large to counter from the outside, it needs to be changed from the inside.

I did read your post; try reading mine. And I find it rather insulting that you think the only way to “counter the liberal mindset” is to expose oneself or one’s child to it for twelve years. If I have anything to say about it, my (future) kids will get plenty of such experience without drinking in the poison that is public education.
