What is the basis for thinking public education is the best option for education or for political freedom? Must that always be the case if it once was true?
Who would be letting a child go astray in a home education environment? Why would a reasonable parent in #3 not conclude that education can be provided via multiple potentially sources, including themselves and a good curriculum?
Why would you not say homeschooling disseminates knowledge, teaches critical thinking and aids democracy?
Your aims are excellent here.

- 1123581321 6y agoThis whole conversation is about living in a western democracy. However, in various third world countries some alternatives to central ally-applied education are practiced, especially where geography makes it difficult and where it is politically acceptable. This is changing in some interesting ways, positively and negatively, as cellular connections proliferate. Also, the idea of telling someone to homeschool, in a conversation about liberal arts and attitudes that’s mostly questions so far, is a good reminder that a coercive mindset isn’t easily set aside. Would ask you to consider how your education laid the ground for that.
