But close examination of this notion reveals that it is more of an organizational housekeeping consideration than a pedagogically sound concept. Most parents, we contend, are more than capable of providing their children with a better education than they could obtain elsewhere.

There is little problem with motivation.

Sometimes they say they are bored. Parents might make a few suggestions, but it is up to them to be bored or to find something that interests them. Aren't they hellions running wild in the streets. Of course not, they live within boundaries with rules. They know what is acceptable behavior, because they live in a family that models acceptable behavior.
