Why wouldn't people who care about their kids homeschool?

Well, for one: because a lot of people who care about their kids have these things called jobs.  [/quote]

and when both parents don't work the one at home is rarely the one competent enough to homeschool. Of course once kids are in HS, they can do all their courses on line and don't really need a parent at home.[/quote]

PP who was homeschooled from 4th-5th grade here.

What we did was possible only because my mom was already home. I don't know why you'd suggest that someone staying home with their kids isn't competent to teach. I know teachers who stay home with their kids who would be great homeschool teachers, being as how they are actually educated and credentialed to teach in a school setting.

As for high school age kids being trusted to do all their coursework online, if that's the case, why bother having high school at all? Let's just let all children take classes online because obviously, they will not in any way benefit from having an adult assisting with the learning process.  :roll: [/quote]
