That is capitalism... if your smart enoupgh - so be it.. we are not communists here..

2. Most parents were educated in the under-funded public school system, and so are not smart enough to home educate their own children.

So?.. you learn how... I think this proposal is laughable..

3. How can children learn to defend themselves unless they have to fight off bullies on a daily basis?

Nope.. it isnt.. ridicule leads some children to take matters into their own hands - I.E. Weapons....

5. Children in public schools can get more practice �Saying No� to drugs, cigarettes and alcohol.

I know plenty of home school children who dont do drugs.. infact goign to school will give them peer pressure, and thus pressuring them into actually trying the drugs.. WRong

7. Publicly asking permission to go to the bathroom teaches young people their place in society.

Shouldnt we be teaching the children to be confident?... wouldnt you want your child to be a leader? We are not Communists Here... And if you're talking about manners - thats laughable too.. dont you think Children will pick up on manners from their parents?.. Public Schools are the WORST

IT also depends on Celebrity Endorsements..

9. Public schools foster cultural literacy, passing on important traditions like the singing of �Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg...�

so.. do you think parents at home might not sing that to their children at times?.. Its not like home schooled kids are going to be in a prison in the house.. i'm sure they cna go outside and play with the nieghboorhood children... or their Religiouse/community centers... Children will always interact and such etc.. Have friends... THey figure out that Robin Laid an Egg and Joker Got away - form them no doubt.. or whatever.. this whole Idea is rediculouse me thinks..

10. Home educated children may not learn important office career skills, like how to sit still for six hours continuously. |
