Oh horse manure. You said absolutely nothing that indicates you are in favor of home schooling. To the contrary, your remarks indicate you are deeply suspicious of it.

Read one of my replies Post 33

I said "As I said in my last post many of the homeschoolers my wife deals with are very smart, well behaved and are great children. My point was that the "few" that seem left behind, well... they are really really REALLY left behind."

Still feel the same? If so that is just too bad...

Your weasel-wording in unconvincing. Your statements on behavior and ability are no more or less true for home schooled children than they are for the general population of government-run or private schools. The fact that you (indirectly through your wife) single out the behavior as belonging to home schooled children indicates that you are hostile to the idea of home schooling if not to home schoolers themselves.

It's a simple question, really. Do you believe education is a proper function of government? If your answer is even conditionally yes, then with regard to that issue, at least, you are a Marxist. Read Bukharin's "ABCs of Communism" for details. As such, you will be hostile toward anything but government schooling, regardless of how much equivocation you offer. If your answer in unconditionally no, then just say so and stop offering common behavior as being unique to home schooled children.
