How is #2 a weakness? I'm confused on that.
Only one I disagree on is where you have #9. That could severely cripple a student later in life if he has inadequate knowledge in a certain area. That may not apply to you, but that's not to say someone else that is weak in math or English should be teaching their children Trigonometry or how to write a well constructed thesis statement. I also find it slightly ridiculous to use Jesus, Peter, James, and John as examples of people who were not hindered by the "lack of socialization opportunities". You're going to compare the society of today to that of 2 millennia ago? It's completely different. Also, Theodore Roosevelt is a rather special case, considering his family chose to home school him for medical reasons, and because they could do it; the Roosevelts were a very wealthy family. He was also an exceptionally bright child. |

Soooooo your saying that homeschooling will lower the tax burden? Lol, get in line behind sever thousand parents who pay for private education before you try that move. |

Sure, both private schooling and home schooling lower the tax burden by reducing the total amount that the taxpayers need to contribute to public education. Private schooling, however, is very heavily regulated in Louisiana by the Dept of Education, required standardized testing, and government programs.

Two. No Immunizations Required – Most American school children have their immunizations checked and completed about the time they enroll in school.
You can think of home schooling as a loophole in the immunization requirements of most states. My wife and I have reviewed volumes of data and evidence and concluded that children are better off being immunized against the common childhood diseases for which immunizations are safe and readily available.

I am planning for articles in the coming weeks describing some of the best available resources in math and science for homeschooling parents to outsource those courses. Of course, parents of public and private school students may also consider whether some of these options are better than the choices may be a better match for their children than the options at their local schools. Quote:
Peter and John ended up travelling widely in the Roman world and needing to communicate the gospel to more languages and cultures than will likely ever be encountered by the average Louisiana public school graduate. Sure. But given the available resources of today, a family need not be wealthy to provide a very high quality home school education to their children. Even outsourcing the majority of our children's coursework, we are spending a small fraction of what Louisiana parents invest in their children's private school education or what taxpayers are paying for each student's public education. We are averaging less than $2k per year per child, and most of that is related to their science projects which are a great experience, but definitely an elective expense. |

How does their evangelization relate to the life of a home school student in 2016? What home school student is traveling to "communicate the gospel" and has to know many different languages to do so? It's an irrelevant comparison because it has no commonality. Was there even a choice between brick and mortar schools and home schooling 2000 years ago? How do we know what education the apostles had? Was the education system the same as it is today? Quote:
The decision for Roosevelt to be home schooled was obviously different from the decision for Tim Tebow to be home schooled. Tebow was an exceptional athlete; health was not a problem. In fact, the Tebows' decision to home school was based on the desire to instill Christian values in their children. My point is, just because a few famous people were home schooled doesn't mean anything. Each person makes that choice for a different reason. They didn't become famous or successful solely because they were home schooled. That is purely anecdotal evidence for why home schooling is successful, but there is no way to prove that they became who they were because of home schooling. No doubt, they are good examples of home school successes, but I feel we are going to have to agree to disagree as to the significance of home schooling to who these people were. I mean, let's face it, Tebow's fame has little to do with him being home schooled. He was a Heisman Trophy winning Quarterback and 2-time National Champion at the University of Florida. None of that had anything to do with his home schooling, because he wasn't taught how to be a great QB in home school. Hell, he played at a public school. |

#1 reason not to home school- no need for self validation. For example, you won't feel compelled to drown fishing forums with posts about home schooling.

Touts homeschooling advantage of reducing tax burden, household income comes from teaching at public universities and tax funded research projects.

But do you know the joy of practicing academic rigor? Of going to school for 37 years straight only to die before you get to live? Of educating yourself beyond the point of being able to recognize "ordinary" folks as actual people? I think not my friend. |
