Good point. Homeschooling loses the advantage of a division of labor, a loss attributable to a breakdown in civil trust.

Homeschooling loses the advantage of a division of labor

Computers can be a force multiplier, getting back that advantage. Also a problem with homeschooling is the absence of traditional classroom competitive pressure to keep up with peers. But using the internet students competing against peers can be restored, if not improved upon. Competition among peers and the prestige of accomplishment are big learning motivators.
