And it's not just Christian kids who homeschool these days. Well, even these unflattering remarks reveal that the stigma is disappearing, as 1.7 million homeschool kids are entering the mainstream. Homeschoolers are having phenomenal success getting into top universities. Some public schools do a great job. And homeschooling isn't for everyone.
Some parents lack the training, temperament, or time to teach kids.
But the principle is clear. Bureaucrats ought not to be the ones deciding how we educate our children. And that's why we need school choice and vouchers, to allow parents to send their kids to schools that are best for those kids. Education isn't something we can compromise on. It's the vehicle for transmitting our intellectual heritage to our children.
