So there are isolated cases of trouble in homeschools, affecting individuals.
Compared to systemic drugs, sex ed, sex in all forms, gangs, fights, crumbling buildings, marxist training, and low academic standards in the public schools, affecting tens of millions.
It is very strange how some people are suspicious of home schoolers and the media tries to associate the movement with abuse. Home schoolers excel in most ways on average. Most parents that home school do so because they are more dedicated parents.
Of course home inspections is a violation of the fourth amendment (that pesky thing /s). And they are completely unnecessary. More abuse goes on in public school than home schools by far.
When horrible cases like this happen the law deals with it already. The government is not great at enforcing the law, but it is terrible at preventing people from breaking the law in the first place.
And this one isolated case mentioned in the article is compared to what? Certainly not the pristine government schools who, on almost a daily bases, have teachers molesting children. And what do they do with them? Why they give them the ultimate punishment; they transfer them to another school!
Then again, when those students in both home-school and government school tracks are compared (under every chart) the home-schoolers are always on top.
Of course, they are also more likely to believe in God, also.
I really don't think the leftist Charlotte Observer really wants to spout too much about the mote in the other guy's eye with the log they have balanced on their nose.
And the DSS needs its owns SWAT team and MWRAPs too!
It’s for the children!
This sounds like more of a problem with the adoption system in this particular state than a home schooling problem. Obviously this "adoptive" parent wanted to hide her abuse so started home schooling. One case out of millions.
Just another attempt to end home schooling so the brain washing of American children can continue unopposed.
The children of Sandy Hook would be alive today if they had been home schooled.
This woman is anti-freedom and anti-American.
The Charlotte Observer has REALLY scrutinized Kay Hagan and her pal Hussein....so now they turn their eyes to home schoolers.
No outside scrutiny? The horror.
Typical statist reporting. How is the "outside scrutiny" of government schools doing? What successes have they had?
I have an idea! Let's have government school teachers in every maternity delivery room. The teachers can snip the umbilical cord and then whisk the newborn off to newborn schools. Hey! It's for the chiiiiildren!
( Is a sarc tag necessary?)
NC homeschool dad here. Nothing succeeds like success. And for the record, I do not need to be “supervised” by some government bureaucrat. Thank God for the North Carolina Department of Non-Public Education, who leaves homeschoolers the hell alone and lets us do our jobs.
In other news, parents found to be threat to child well being... </sarcasm>
