[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My issue with home schooling is not that it exists but there is a whole cadre of parents that make it a way of withdrawing from communities as if the rest of us have unwholesomeness syndrome.  We had some family friends that basically implied that about everyone and their kids are just nightmares of judgment on everyone and everything.  This impression was seconded by a cousin who ran a ice cream shop in the Midwest and said that they quit hiring kids that were home schooled because the kids had a hard time working as a team.  There are obviously really good reasons to home school my mom did if or one year with a sister that was very sick, but put her back once that passed, but I have to wonder what commitment many people have to communities that withdraw from the education system.  I should add I feel a bit the same way about private schools. [/quote]

Do you feel the same way about someone who moves out of a community with bad schools to go to a school that might be better, but perhaps less diverse? They're withdrawing from their community, albeit to join a better, more expensive one.
