Conservatives are worried sick about political indoctrination through the public school system. That's a strawman, but it serves those challenged by curiosity well.
I'm more concerned that the quality of education is limited by the parent's ability to actually teach. I am concerned that a child who may be a science prodigy will be stunted by the parent's inability to teach. I'm concerned that kids who do not socialize with other kids will become warped individuals. And I am concerned that the curriculum might include mythology in lieu of science.
They are afraid of the school contradicting their indoctrination
Can't have them learn'n about that evolution stuff
Oooo...you poor thing!
At your age, reading carefully is quite the chore.
Here it is again:
"...concern about
“the environment of other schools” has supplanted religion as the Number One reason given for homeschooling, according to the DOE survey.
Ninety-one percent of homeschooling parents cited school environment as at least a contributing factor.
...urbanites choose homeschooling for various reasons, though
dissatisfaction with the quality and content of instruction at local public schools heads the list.
.... even after more than a decade of aggressive education-reform efforts,
the “decent public school” remains a rarity in New York and in other American cities."
See....it's based on how poor a job you Liberals have done in running the schools.
Why do parents homeschool?
1. They want the best possible education for their child
2. They don't want their child in the same school with.......blacks, Hispanics, poor whites, Jews, Muslims.......
3. School interferes with their bible teaching
4. School will interfere with their hatred of blacks, gays, atheists, liberals
We all know it isn't number 1 don't we?
