True, very true; and I endorse and applaud your statements.

However, "goobermint skrewls" are now doing things that go FAR beyond the three R's, including liberal indoctrination, allowing minors out of school for "private medical procedures" (read Abortions), and pushing a pro-homosexual agenda.

If you are not capable of homeschooling, and are unable to aford private schools, then you have no choice but to put your kids into public schools. As far as the "Church" is concerned, they are doing more harm than good with their dogmatic dictates.

Keeping track of what the publik screwls are doing to your kids is far more costly and time-consuming than many would believe, IMHO.

Cleel, this was my exact experience. Before I withdrew my daughters from PS, time consumption was at its greatest, and the day-after-day (literally) arguing with PS administrative types was frustrating beyond belief. I had so many petitions going on that the School District had bi-weekly meetings with me to prevent me from going above their heads.

Homework was out of control. We would spend up to 3-4 hours a night on my oldest daughter's homework who was in third grade at that time.

There were other reasons I chose to homeschool as well; I disagree strongly with the PTA's stance, I am against forced homosexual sex ed, there is a strong lack of common sense education, the basic "R's" are not being taught enough, and total misrepresentations of our Nations history are set into children's minds daily.

Like I said, it became a calling in my particular situation. I now educate my 3 daughters, and we spend about 4 hours a day in "school". We certainly accomplish more than the PS can in their 6 hours in classes, not to mention the additional hours of homework each night.

I just want to point out that it is unwise to push parents into a situation where they may not be best suited to handle the day to day life of homeschooling.

For anyone who can possibly handle it, I say go for it and give it your all! Your children deserve it.

I trust you mean to say, "some" public schools. While many do what you are saying, not all do, and if more parents would participate in the education of their children far less would be doing so.

I'm extremely interested in why you hold that opinion - in all seriousness and no sarcasm being used.
