NO one knows if government schools are in any manner effective because studies have **never** been done that separate out the learning acquired IN THE HOME from that supposedly dished out in a godless classroom ( likely none).

Then the exact same thing can be said about Private schools, Parochial schools and Home screwlers (Intentional miss-spelling to show contempt for you).

You keep missing that the point is Lousy parents, lousy kids.

Yes, It can be said about Prusssian-model private schooling, but not homeschooling.

Learning that is due to the parents, child's, and ( possibly) paid or unpaid individual tutoring is **homeschooling**. If the child is institutionalized for his schooling that “In the Home” learning is commonly called “afterschooling.

It is my anecdotal observation that academically successful children ( home or institutionalized) are spending about the same amount of time IN THE HOME studying, doing projects, and independent study. Prove me wrong. Where are the studies that prove government schools teach anything? Where are the studies that separate the knowledge acquired in the home from that ( supposedly) learned in the classroom.?

And....Since you know so much, where are the studies to back up your opinion.
