How’s THAT for a reason to homeschool?

How about a better reason, home schooled or not home schooled - reasons why you should not train your daughter to be just a sex object?

Reasons why you should teach your daughter that a pretty face and breast implants does not equal success and more importantly, does not guarantee real satisfaction in life.

Reasons why if you only teach your daughter that all that is important in life is beauty and fame and outward appearances, she will be shallow and ultimately disappointed in life.

Reasons why you should teach your daughter that math and science is not just for boys, and that geography, history, English, etc., are important too.

Reasons why you should teach your daughter she can be an engineer, a mathematician, an architect, an accountant or a doctor if she works hard and applies herself and why that is way more important than just being another pretty face.

Reasons why if your daughter has exceptional beauty that can be an advantage but she better have the brains to back it up.

Reasons why she doesn’t have to be an engineer, a mathematician, an architect, an accountant or a doctor and there is no better job than being a wife and mother but she’ll be a much better wife and mother if she has a working brain.

I understand where you're coming from, but I'd be willing to bet money that this particular girl could kill herself studying and working hard and she would still never be capable of being a doctor, engineer, mathematician, or any other hard science profession. Counseling her that she could be just as good as the boys would be a lie. However, counseling her to be as educated as possible while setting her goal to be a wife and mother would probably be some darn good advice.

Wives and mothers don't have a working brain already? Perhaps you said more about yourself than you intended. It kind of renders moot the rest of your post.
