First, we need major educational reform in this country. That said, the problem is that school must (in order to scale) by definition teach at the middle kid of any and all classrooms. This means some are always lagging behind and some are always somewhat bored. At home, a dedicated parent can teach any child more effectively because they are getting individual attention and level setting. However, I'd argue the point of school and college is far far greater than the acquisition of knowledge. I'm fine with parents having the right to choose but like most things in life there are pros and cons and one size doesn't fit all.
