Wintertime, be careful that you don't make outrageous comments that undermine your credibility. I think you have some good thoughts and ideas, but over-the-top comments place everything you say in question. You have a strong enough arguements for homeschooling from your own experiences as it is, no need to dress it up with "well, it COULD happen."

Thoeting,

If parents are sufficiently resistant of government school authorities, police, court orders, and the department of child welfare, it WILL happen. Parents are not stupid and not likely to push it that far any more than tax resisters do.

It is long past time that we properly describe the power that government schools have over our lives. See message #108.

[Thoeting]

Cyclical arguments are tiring. Your logic is so filled with holes I don't know which one to address first. Therefore, I will not address your logic or lack thereof.
