Where do you stand on homeschooling?

73. Not a fan at all. I've met homeschooling parents, most are not qualified to teach.

The ones that were teachers once, or have some sort of background that would enable them to homeschool successfully, are fine.

But the majority I've met are doing it only because they want some Little House on the Prairie thing for their kids, and the kids have been so socially awkward. We've had them in girl scout troops and sports teams, and most of them just can't relate at all to the other kids.

There are some good programs that are an alternative to home schooling... where the parents hire a teacher, and create a collective, with lots of parenting involvement for extra curricular activities, and they rent buildings like a school (yes, its for the rich people.) that works well.

But I think that too many people homeschool because of their regressive religious beliefs and total ignorance about public schools.
