One has to have quite an ego to think they can be an educator in all subjects
everyone knows thee are resources out there for homeschoolers in fact there are far more resources now than there ever has been.
Do you really think the guy who teaches Physics 101 for 20 years is an expert physicist ?
No, but they damn sure now more than 99.9% of homeshoolers.
Physics 101 can be learned without a teacher especially today with the resources available on line
That's wonderful everything can be learned then without a teacher, including the private music lessons you give. Right? I mean aren't YouTube lessons on guitar just as good?
Yes or no
And of course they are. If you had designs to torture, starve, beat and neglect your children, why in the world would you daily send them to a place of mandatory reporters?
You wouldn't. You would either withdraw or never enroll them. Which is exactly what the study below found.
This is a serious and growing problem in the homeschooling community which, true to form, homeschoolers are not addressing except to fight oversight. This WILL have a negative effect not only on the perception of homeschooling but also on their success rate over time.
Particularly severe abuse cases that involve school-age children also tend to involve homeschooling. In a 2014 study of child torture, Barbara Knox, a pediatrician at the University of Wisconsin, found that 47% of school-age victims had been withdrawn from school for homeschooling and an additional 29% had never been enrolled.
The Turpin child abuse story fits a widespread and disturbing homeschooling pattern
This should be easily addressed, by requiring all home schooled children to pass a yearly exam standard in basic subjects and Christian religious studies. An abused child would naturally fail all these. Then they can revoke their home schooling privileges.
Why should homeschooled children be required to pass a Christian religious studies class? What if they're not Christian?

Because most homeschooled children are religious zealots and religious zealots think Christianity is the only religion, and their kids think it is as well.

Yes or no
It depends on the student and what they want to get out of their lessons
I won't say one way is better than another because both have pluses and minuses.
Personally I preferred taking music lessons in studio with an instructor but I also use many on line resources as well.
But yes anyone can learn the basics on their own but with music one benefits greatly from learning to play with other people and you can't do that with you tube
Now why do you want to make student loan companies cry?They should not be allowed to enroll in college if homeschooled , after all that is school and their parents can teach them all they need to know about life and how to make a living.

And how many children is that exactly?
Percentages are meaningless without the total number on which they are based
The vast majority of parents who homeschool do not torture their kids
The vast majority don't educate their kids either.

I have known people who homeschooled, and yes they were strongly religious, but they took education seriously and did a good job.One had parents who you would probably term "zealots" but they were actually very decent people who weren't out to change the world at all and raised highly successful, respectful and bright, motivated children. Another was living in a not so nice area of Boston and wanted her children to be safe; being a woman with a doctorate herself, she took on the job and did it spectacularly. The other parents I did not know. It was most likely for academic reasons; the public school was known for being one of the worst in the area, academically. If the child was being raised by religious zealots, he never let on.In my years of teaching, I can think offhand of three homeschooled students who were among the best and brightest I ever had.Since they really don't visit homes of homes of homeschooling and small daycares (6 or less), I am against them all. Put your child into a decent daycare, a larger one not a 6 child one, and no one should homeschool their kids.
I am pro public schools , that is why we pay taxes. The gov. should not fund parochial schools nor private schools and states should not either.
Michigan court approves public funding for private school mandates
Homeschooling can be awesome when it is done well.
Why were they homeschooled and are you a public teacher, and what were their parents like? The norm is religious zealots want them homeschooled.

There is no proof or indication that the majority of home schooled children receive an adequate education. Home schoolers point at college entrance exam scores, but there is no indication what percentage of home schooled children even take those entrance exam tests, much less what percentage take any kind of standardized tests. Many states require no monitoring or testing of home schooling of any kind. Please show me where anything I just wrote is wrong. Nothing would please me more than to be wrong in what I just wrote.
