If the government thinks that my wife and I are too ill-equipped to teach our children, then that's an indictment to the public school system that both my wife and I were schooled in. Very good point! - The Pilgrim P.S. They must also conclude that the government loves and cares more for our children than their own parents. Ludicrous! Very good point Deldobuss.

I may not always have my ducks in a row, but my children and I are thankful that they do not need to enter a godless environment for the sake of their "education". And if judges and politicians feel that parents are not qualified to teach their children, what are they saying? That public education didn't prepare us to teach the ABC's? If that is the case, it just shows how truly horrible the public education system is!

Do not let people like James with his condescending remarks get in the way of you and your God-given responsibility to educate, care for, raise, and love your children. And James, citing one case of a kid who couldn't write an essay while ignoring the countless cases of public school kids who can't even spell their names, find America on a map, nor execute a simple mathematical equation, is very disingenuous on your part. Still wondering how generations survived before the almighty public school, - The Pilgrim Ingrid:

One home-schooled student who had trouble writing an essay versus how many schools--ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS--where children are routinely SUSPENDED--many of them for bringing WEAPONS!! Now, James, does this kinda bring the whole issue into better focus for you? You are trying to say that one kid who didn;' succeed at being homeschooled is enough to paint the whole system with a broad brush of failure. Yet you will let publikk skuulz off the hook for being a breeding ground for the next generation of thugs, rapists and murderers. Read the stats again, and let them really sink in this time.

There are many reasons people homeschool. I used to babysit as a teenager for two feminists I now realize were lesbians. They were homeschooling because the public schools were too "conservative" for them. Godly parents are going to see to it that their children's spiritual needs and academic needs are met in a home education setting. In officially atheistic public schools, neither are.
