Ok, I don't think that's particularly controversial. Most of the controversy arises from parents (or influential people without kids) trying to influence the shared public school system to match their particular standard, rather than having their kids taught elsewhere as you recommend.
- chmod600 3y agoSo if the shared public school system is teaching something wacky (creationism or whatever), how should that be changed? If not parents or influential people, who would cause the change to happen?
- alexvoda 3y agoTeaching something wacky in homeschooling is far more damaging to the student than teaching something wacky in a public school. School does not occupy all the time of a child. If a school teaches something parents disagree with, parents can debunk that when the kids are home. They can bring arguments and kids will eventually make up their own minds. Homeschooling presents a single view, that of the parents. There is no debate.
