121. Being home schooled does not necessarily

guarantee that a child gains a quality education. Just like attending a public school that pushes kids through the system does not guarantee that they get the best education either.

It all comes down to the curriculum taught to kids and making sure that nutty theories are not embedded in the schoolwork. It also comes down to making sure that kids actually learn the classroom material, educational problems are diagnosed and properly dealt with, and that the needs of the children come first over shoving them to the next teacher. It comes down to parents being invested in their children's education and not cheating them out of learning opportunities by siding with their little darlings over the teachers who do their best to teach the children. Childhood is when children can make mistakes and learn from them so that by the time they become adults they have an idea of how society functions. Coddling them too much can send them the wrong message, cheating is ok, Mom & Dad and fix any problem, personal responsibility - what is that? You see that when you read stories of kids being caught cheating, the teacher holds them accountable, parents bitch to the school and the school (instead of siding with the teacher) backs the parents and makes the teacher redo the kid's grades.
