[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why aren't home-educated children held to the same minimum standards as public school students? I'm European and it's illegal in almost all European countries. This is absurd. [/quote]

[b]They generally perform higher than public schools[/b].

In many states they have to turn in logs showing what they worked on, hours spent, etc.[/quote]

I'd like to see the statistics proving that.

Look, I know there are people who have the skills and credentials to homeschool. I've read "The Well-Trained Mind", and I wish I had the time and patience to teach my child everything that homeschooling curriculum has to offer, but I know that I don't and I can't, that's why I'm not even willing to try. But the majority of those dimwits claiming to homeschool their kids have no idea what they are supposed to be doing and why. How on Earth do you know how to teach, say, reading and/or spelling if you are not a trained teacher? It's a system, for crying out loud!

And don't even get me started on algebra/geography/biology or any other specific subject.[/quote]
