Private and Home Schooling Isn't Necessarily Better than Public Schooling (rant)

[The Straight Story]

6. Homeschooling has been great for us

My daughter has done both public and home school and both have worked well (though she had a lot of bullying problems in public school the actual education/teacher were great).

It has helped my X a lot as she has many health problems and can easily take our daughter with her to the dr, not worry about her getting from home to school and her not being there, etc and so on. It is tough though as the curriculum is about 1-2 grades ahead of public schools here (already doing algebra/geometry in 5th grade and learning things that were not even on my radar until 7-9th grade).

The schools around here suck now and we cannot afford private. My 3 sons all went to public school in a small town and did wonderful.

I don't understand the hatred some people have of homeschooling and the choice it offers others.
