All the ones I know fall into either two categories: very religious who want a very strict religious curriculum or are convinced their kid is the next great Olympic athlete and has the kid in 6-8 hours of practice per day.

Sure it is... what she is asking isn't completely true- plenty of educated people homeschool. I am sorry if you don't want to believe that smart people homeschool. |
*shrug* homeschoolers perform above public schoolers on pretty much every objective measure of academic achievement, parent with college degree or not. |
I know lots of homeschool families. There is a religious element behind their decision to homeschool. Many of these families are also very educated. I have actually never encountered an uneducated homeschool mom, but don't doubt they exist. |
Why do uneducated people comment about things they don’t know anything about?
By the way, my neighbor with a PhD from Maryland homeschools. So piss off. |
My SIL “homeschooled” my niece and nephew for several years usin an online school. She said it was because their school wasn’t safe but I think she just didn’t want the kids to physically leave the house. |
Go back to your home country. Don't waste your time among the backward. |
My Miami friend began homeschooling when the first day her daughter's teacher (of an A+ rated school) sent a welcome letter home that read, "And without further a due..." She was so out of there. Kid went on to Yale. |
Well, if your kids are arrogant pricks like you, avoiding contact with them is reason enough. |
Why shouldn't s/he? We Americans do. |
My brother's family lives in a neighborhood where some of the schools, including the high school, have been taken over by the state. Their parish catholic school closed and merged with another, and they were unhappy with the culture of the bigger school. They homeschool all their kids. My SIL is not very...academic...but she knows her limitations. She uses a set curriculum for her little ones. The older ones (around middle school) use an accredited online curriculum, combined with a weekly co-op for some of the classes. The co-op they chose have mostly highly educated parents teaching the classes (engineers, college professors, etc) with fluff courses taught by hobby moms (art classes, music appreciation, that kind of thing). They are behind where my fcps kids are in school but leaps and bounds ahead of the kids in their local zoned public school. |
It's arrogant to think a college degree is necessary to educate our children? |
Yes. Bill Gates doesn’t have a college degree. Would you not let him teach your kid coding? |
He doesn't even homeschool his kids. Many homeschool claiming to homeschool but as the kids get older its basically online schooling and parents have little involvement. |
