And the worst myth of all that the government and leftists perpetrate on American parents? That they (the parents) aren't really capable of teaching their kids....leave that to the "professionals."

Seems the "professionals" are being exposed for their incompetence everyday.

"Harry and Ellie O'Keefe are loving but eccentric parents who've homeschooled their three children to protect them from the loud and libidinal world."

"libidinal" is not a word. Who proofs this crap?

I'm still waiting for the sitcom where public-schooled 18-year-olds can't read. But maybe that should be on the Discovery channel...

I don't think professionals could ever hope to do better than a parent with some clue as to what they're doing. A classroom with one teacher with 30 some kids trying to follow some pre-prescribed program on a rigorous schedual just isn't as good as a free flowing program conducted by parents with several children. I don't care how good a public or private school is, I have to think homeschooling is better. Our way of doing things just isn't effective for most kids.
