"Studies also show that while homeschooling may have merits for some kids, most children do not get what they need to excel in a "real world" environment"
Now this sounds like typical liberal thinktank stuff.
Homeschooled kids are in the real world. They are out and about attending field trips, plays, you name it.
Are you a teacher?
Currently, I am a M.Ed. candidate...hope to teach social studies again soon in a public high school setting.
