Dear maine-iac7,

“No, not all home schooled kids get the best of education - but I’ve seen what is taught to our kids in public schools - and ‘it is not impressive.’”

How true that is.

The thing is, for every homeschooling “failure,” it’s easy enough to point to a hundred successes. Conversely, for every public school success, it’s easy enough to point to a hundred failures.

The public schools struggle to GRADUATE even 70% of their charges, and as we all know many of those “graduates” leave their public school experiences barely literate or numerate.

It’s ironic that we give oversight of the successful (homeschoolers) to the failed (public school administrators).

Here in North Carolina, we're under the "Division of Non-Public Education." For some reason, the education bureaucracy in this state reserves most of its hostility for charter schools.
