[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my issue with homeschooling. If a school bus failing, there's enough transparency to know that information.

Homeschooling familes often have little to no accountability to properly teach their children[/quote]

Two things...

1) we know lots of public schools fail, but nothing is done.

2) homeschoolers have a lot more invested in the success of their child than an institution does.[/quote]

Depends on the family and why they're homeschooling. Some do it for the academics but many do it for different reasons.[/quote]

No matter their reasons, parents want their children to grow up to be self supporting.  So yes, they are more invested.[/quote]

And yet if you have parents arguing that their child doesn't need to learn how to read or doesn't need to learn science or math or other subjects because the parent has no idea how to actually teach those things, they're not sitting their child up for success and then they're just justifying that success doesn't have to include learning how to do (math/science/reading)[/quote]

My point is that I don't think what you are suggesting happens very much.  Homeschoolers do want their kids to learn all of those things.  There are some niche philosophies about [u]how[/u] to best learn them, just like there are in private schools.  I don't think many homeschooled kids grow up without learning to read.  [/quote]
