I’ve met exactly one homeschooling family that wasn’t motivated enough to see their kids succeed. Of course they weren’t actually homeschooling. They were abusing their children - physically, mentally, and sexually - and they were hiding by claiming to homeschool. This in the state with the most restrictive homeschool laws in the country, with social workers in and out of their lives multiple times.
Every other home schooled family I knew growing up or have met since has been a success. Homeschooled parents are home with their kids most of the time. If there’s anyone who realizes the stakes involved in not raising a kid who can grow up and get a life of his own, it’s going to be homeschoolers.
I’m too darn lazy not to homeschool. I haven’t the patience or diplomacy to undo what gets taught in school and I sure as heck won’t have a daughter who actually believes crap like global warming, social justice, or critical race theory
