"In the U.S. today, homeschoolers are generally rebels, defying the system in order to do right by children."
Or to shove creationist propaganda down their throat, as in my case. A significantly large part of the homeschooling movement is dominated by christian fundamentalists determined to keep their children from "secular pollution" by evilutionists. Unfortunately, all the censorship just made me even more curious about real science.
- Mz 14y agoHave an upvote. I will take that as agreement with my basic point that homeschooling is not some perfect, idyllic solution and all the world would be a better place if we ensured that parents had near total control of what their kids learned by doing away with all other options, like public school and private school.
- qu4z-2 14y agoI'm going to go ahead and say that's "fortunate" rather than "unfortunate"...
- Crake 14y agoIt's unfortunate from the fundamentalist parents' perspective.
