[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shouldn't the REAL question here be: "Why do parents allow their kids to be in detrimental situations in their schools by keeping them in that environment???" This could apply to bullying, sexual or emotional abuse by students or staff, unhealthy school environments, poor influences, etc., etc. We should all be fighting for the rights of parents to protect their children and home educate them if necessary. Being *forced* to send your children to a government establishment determined by zip code and zoning daily is wrong and immoral. We should have options and utilize them.[/quote]

Yes, well, some people home educate kids to keep them away from ‘bad things’ like other races, different religions, different viewpoints (evolution? ), different abilities  and acceptance of things such as being gay. That’s not healthy for the kids and it’s not fair in the least to the child.

I homeschooled one of my kids so please don’t deny it, you must see it too. Often the kids are protected from ‘not being carbon copies of Mom and dad or Mom and dad’s perfect image of how things should be’. Some homeschooling environments - especially those where the parents strive to never let the kids think for themselves or go out and live their own lives - are like creating a permanent prison for the child.

Um, that's not what I was talking about at all. Why are you trying to hijack my thought? I'm talking about parents who let their child be in a horrible school environment, most commonly bullying. Their kid gets physically and emotionally abused and they are "stuck" sending their child to their zoned school. What the heck is wrong with those parents? Get your child out of there before there is permanent damage! Let's make sure we as parents have the right to do so.[/quote]
