@ eglyntine, well put and bravo for you! Well over 2 million homeschooling families in this country today and growing by leaps and bounds each year says a lot! Public schools, for the most part, are nothing more than government indoctrination centers with little to no social or educational redeeming value. Quite the contrary. I would say it would be very easy to trace the root of most of our society's ills and shortcomings right back to the damage that has been done over the last 40 years and is continuing to be done to our youth through this system! I, for one, will never turn the spiritual, mental and social education of my most precious processions over to some government lackey.
