(14,765 posts)but there are special cases however that could be exempt.
The majority of home-schooled kids do not learn anything, because the parents do not know how to teach. Especially those religious folk who just think public school is evil because of 'all that there leernen', and I have seen it myself. We had to peer review each others papers in a writing class I had at university, and I read this young woman's paper which she talked about her home-schooling. It was the worst paper I have ever read and I had put over 100 corrections on it.
For a majority, there little actual learning going on and that is going to be a major problem down the line, not just for the individuals but for everyone else. Its not the public schools that are the problem, its their funding cuts and consolidation that is the problem.
