SWTXbelle, I have no problem with homeschooling and agree with many of your points, but I'm not sure that I'd say that the public school system has failed. Is it failing some places? No doubt. Are the educational bureaucrats often making it worse? Absolutely. Could it be better almost everyplace? Sure.
But I know that the public school where I teach with the assistance of the students' parents produces 300+ competent graduates a year (along with a couple of incompetent ones whose parents worked against us) and probably at least 150+ of them are very well qualified for college level work at selective colleges. It isn't failed or failing as an institution by any reasonable measure.
But anyone who wants to home school their children is certainly welcome to in my book.
