If we educate idiots, our future is full of idiots. If we educate patriots, our future is full of patriots.
Via Terry
“The fact that homeschooling must be defended again and again against consistently wrong naysayers attests to one single, undeniable fact: Critics must continue to propagate the lies and defend public schools at all costs. They cannot admit that this enormously expensive experiment in public education has utterly failed.”
Needless to say, this topic attracted its share of detractors, including one poster who wrote the following: “Homeschooling … fails children miserably on many fronts. Christian schools breed bigotry and do not allow for children to integrate in a positive and balanced manner with the rest of society. When children are not taught to get up, dress up. and show up – except for at the kitchen table, what good will that do them 10 years from now in the ‘real world’? It won’t. I have yet to meet an HONEST home-schooled teen or young adult who has NOT felt like a social reject during their venture into the big world.”
Sigh. Here we go again. Beside the obvious point that this person clearly doesn’t know many (if any) actual homeschoolers, I feel that once again a defense of homeschooling is in order.
The academic superiority of homeschooling is not in question. Homeschoolers routinely leave public-schooled children in the metaphorical dust when it comes to standardized tests.
