Public school is coach.
 Private school is business class.
Homeschool is first class.

Sorry…homeschool is flying basic economy coach unless you are wealthy enough to hire the best private tutors around.

People homeschool because they are poor and usually live in a shit hole area with awful public schools.

Except the billionaire who decided to sail around the world on his super yacht and pulled his kids from a top private while hiring two incredible tutors for the journey…and then promptly re-enrolled them in the top private upon return.[/quote]

I had the same reaction. Homeschool is Spirit Airlines. Many parents doing it didn't even go to college.[/quote]

I’ve attended many homeschool groups, summer camps, etc and one of my favorite parts is the family presentation. Each week a family takes 5 minutes to talk about their family, work, family interests, a recent vacation, etc. Most of the kid’s parents  I’ve met are doctors, lawyers, business owners, feds, or otherwise introduced their job as classified. More often than not at least 1 parent attended college, usually it was both parents. I recognize this is anecdotal data, but IME the families that choose homeschool are not the uneducated lowlife people you seem to think they are. [/quote]

I don't know where you live, but where I live  many of the parents who homeschool did not go to college. I would be interested in seeing a statistic. I never called them " lowlifes"...you did. Many simply aren't adequately educated to be teaching.[/quote]

While that might be true of many families who homeschool, it’s irrelevant to an individual family’s decision to homeschool. When deciding whether or not to homeschool, I didn’t need to look at statistics to figure out the likelihood that my kids would have a college educated teacher.  I knew they would.  Similarly, while I knew that many homeschoolers have Evangelical beliefs, I didn’t need to worry about whether my kids’ teacher would.[/quote]
