Of course the problem is that the NEA has no good argument against Home Schooling. Their academic record is outstanding. The price to the taxpayer is outstanding, the juvenile police record is all but none existent, etc.

It is hard to refute an unsupported assertion, such as the charge that Home Schoolers are not properly socialized. In my community the lie is highlited in neon lights. Some Home Schoolers would like to participate in the nearby school's extracurricular activites. (sports, band, etc.) This is not allowed. The NEA is opposed. If they were truly concerned about Home Schoolers socialization, they would welcome this participation.

Yep-- it's all about the control, dude... They don't give a crap about the kiddies...
