Someone suggested that our problems would be lessened if there was MORE public schooling, and I pointed out that we have all the racists, and homophobes, and creationists, and, well, the list would never be long enough for some, but we have ALL those people and yet we put more people through pubic school than nearly anyone.
And by the time they get to Teabagger age, a far higher portion of them HAVE high school diplomas with a smattering of GED's than nearly any group out there.
So just getting more public school education graduates is not going to solve our problems. A lot of learning comes from the environment outside the school, and if one doesn't reach that, they will miss affecting how it is shaped. For good or bad. Didn't have a thing to say about your house specifically.
Just so you know, my schooling was in folk schools, so I have a little different (broader?) concept of "home school", and I am a big fan, so I am not sure but that maybe you were replying to someone else.
We would agree on not teaching people that they must accept things blindly, including any religion at all. I don''t believe in ghosts, and I don't have anything against people who do as long as they keep it to themselves and out of my life and the lives of others.
