“you take on more responsibility, because now you have to keep tabs on what’s being taught, what materials are being used”
I have nothing against people who send their kids to public school but are you serious? I don’t keep tabs on what is being taught or what material is being used. I spend hour upon hour researching curriculum. I choose all my curriculum and pay for my curriculum. Then I study the material, read every word, teach every class, grade every paper. I am not complaining because I love it! I am just setting the record straight. Hiring someone else to teach your children is not more responsibility.

I spend hour upon hour researching curriculum.

I believe you took my statement out of context.

A homeschooler had contended that parents who send their kids to public school do so in order to absolve themselves of all responsibility.

I responded that I pay very close attention to the what is being taught, review text books, discuss class lessons, etc. My comment was not directed at homeschoolers.

I'm aware that homeschoolers must select and review the materials they choose. My point was that "good" public school parents also review materials, and challenge teachers, schools, and district admins when the content is inappropriate.
