[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are very legitimate reasons for homeschooling. And I have no doubt that, despite the lack of professional teaching qualifications, the kids can get a good education academically given the numbers.

But to be honest, I still have the impression that there are a disproportionate number of people who home school who really shouldn't be in the business of teaching their kids, and who are doing their children a serious disservice socially and emotionally. [/quote]

+1.   I'm a long time homeschooler (15 years).   I unfortunately have to agree with you, although it doesn't affect the way I educate my children because academic rigor is one of the reasons I pulled my first child out of public school 15 years ago.   But I, too, am concerned with the education many many of the homeschoolers I meet are giving their children.   This is not just local groups, but also online forums.  So many of the people I "meet" are thrilled that their children get their work done in 2 hours, can go play and socialize the rest of the day, etc.   It is scary, and so so unfair to those children.
