You are right everyone is not suited to homeschool, yet if you send your child to government schools, you are going to have spend almost as much time helping them get the lessons right as you would if you home schooled excluivative.

Please, enough with the broad brush. Not all public school systems are the NEA controlled socialist communes you are trying to present them as.

I am home every day to supervise my daughter when she gets home from school. My 6 year old 1st grader, who is in 2nd grade for reading and math, handed me all of her homework to double check, less than 20 minutes after she sat down to do it. Her only error, a forgotten "s". Not too shabby, for a government schooled child who you claim is going to need more help at home than she gets in school.

I can only tell you what I see and hear from around the country. Here in West Tenn. your child can not get a sound education in the public schools, and California is the same.

In your state there is a growing population of children that are not being educated in public schools.

It is not only the poor quality, but the liberal dogma that the children are taught. Personally I would starve to death than put one of mine in a government school.

Depends on what that homework consisted of. Our 4 year old can read, write and correct our grammar. No to shabby for a child that has never even been exposed to any school except her families teaching.

In a child's life, there are hundred's of opportunities every day to "home school", and should be taken advantage of.

I wasn't broad brushing at all. Your school is just the exception. The rest of the country is not as fortunate.
