Who decides if homeschooling provides the BEST in determining the quality of education?
I am torn on the issue as well.
Both of my parents were educators, my mom a teacher, my father a principal. THEY BOTH ensured that my sister and I received the BEST from EACH teacher. Also, they BOTH exposed us to extras as well.
NOW, I do realize that that was more than 20 years ago, and times have really changed. There are environmental factors which hinder alot of our students from excelling. Yet, there are some who do overcome their environment. There are parents who have 2 or more jobs who CANNOT homeschool or be there to expose or reinforce what was learned at school. SO WHAT DO WE DO FOR THOSE KIDS? There are some parents who would LOVE to be able to be with the child and keep up with what is going on, BUT THERE ARE SOME WHO JUST DON'T GIVE A DAMN!
AGAIN, IT'S A SAD SITUATION ALL AROUND!
