Neither of my kids were home schooled. However, if they were school-aged now they may be. If you home school YOU teach what you want. You are free to teach your kids that there IS a second amendment, that Jefferson wasn't the worst man alive and God exists (if you so believe). They also learn proper pronouns and can go to the bathroom without fear of a young man being in there with them.
If I had kids in school there would be two choices--private or home.
I have no argument.
My only question would relate to what the expectations were for the children.
Parents can teach their children whatever they want, and if there is no need to deal with whatever the norms society in general has, no big deal.
I am well beyond that point in time as both my daughters are approaching 50 years old.
But I keep thinking back at how things worked out for me in life, and how I somehow managed to end up OK, after a poor start in high school. Back before there was no home schooling, no internet, no computers, no social media, no nothing really, except time spend in the woods playing Tarzan or whatever...
So I keep wondering, if home schooling is really superior to brick and mortar classes...or if the opposite is true.
But in reality, it is probably a wash...depends on the parents and the school district. In the end it probably cancels out. Some kids win, others lose...Was that way back when I was in school too, with only one option. Graduate or drop out...
