I have mixed views on home schooling. It has become fairly popular in this area for a variety of reasons. I know of some families who work very hard at it and the children have done well and are really fine young citizens. Others, not so well. We have no requirement for testing or even for graduation by passing a GED test. I know of several kids who haven't even tried to take the test. I have seen the effect of this first hand. My ex brother in laws family was mostly supposedly home schooled. They are an extreme example, but far from the only one I know of. They didn't want their children exposed to the influence of "bad people". I think they had good, but mis-guided intentions in the beginning and really seemed to work at school for a few years with some of the older children. They also were involved in outside activities for social development of the kids. After a few years though they quit working so much, until the children were no longer being schooled at all. Still they would not allow the kids to go to school in town. I could take up a whole page with the trainwreck they built in their own house, but I'll just tell you this. They had eight children. The oldest two went to public school until the oldest was in high school, the other in junior high. The oldest is an attorney for the government. She got the heck out of Dodge and didn't look back. The second went to a two year college and if she could get away from the influence of her parents, would be a fine young lady. ALL of the younger ones are now or soon will be drains on society, through welfare and medicaid paying for their tribe of illegitimate children,etc.. These kids can't function in the world, or for some reason feel they don't need to. Even if they wanted to participate in the world of work, they aren't employable. There are still, I believe, two of school age, that are headed down the same hill. And now they have started over with the grand children.
The point of this rant is this. If home schooling works for you, great. I'll support your right to do it. If you find you can't or don't want to work that hard at it, I won't willingly support your kids for the rest of their lives because you were too lazy or unable to teach them. If that is the case, get them back in school where they belong.
