Remember, folks, nothing's final until the bulldozers roll in. Your view still matters to the future of this project and in this election year, if you have a vote, you have a voice. Only a very few readers support the idea of home schooling. In fact, more than 83 percent of you expressed doubts about this educational option. The bad thing about home schooling is that it eliminates the possibility of your child being exposed to all the bad things in life.
Every child needs to learn to interact with the world.
Schools give them this chance. They learn to interact with peers, teachers and kids younger and older than themselves. Home schooling also fails to teach children that they must recognize authority other than their parents. Some readers said that parents should focus on parenting and let the teachers do the job they were trained for. I have a friend who is a school superintendent with a Ph.D. in Education.
