Most of the complaints I hear about home schooling are from people who know nothing about it. That is especially true with other parents who depend on the public school system to be their "free" baby sitter and full-time indoctrination center. It is just as true with the overpaid union members also who are on the school's taxpayer supported "welfare" system. As the quality of teaching and work load goes down, the pay demands keep going up. In my opinion, all teachers "aids" should be fired. School teachers should be required to learn the content of what they teach and NOT just get useless MAs in "how to teach from a text book." That may be a requirement in some states, but it is not in most. 40 years ago it was required in many more then today.
I've got four kids who went through the public school system. Our fifth is home schooled. When we got involved, we joined LEAH and have met many other home schooled kids from all over the country. From my perspective - there's a huge difference in the finished "product."
I particularly hear complaints from home-school phobics about LEAH being a Christian organization. Well yeah - it is. But they don't mandate beating your kid with a bible. They DO stand up for rights of parents though. I suppose there IS something Christian about a parent actually taking part in teaching their child. How dare we !
I find the entire public school system to be scary and wasteful beyond the pale.
It's ironic that my wife and I pay bloated school taxes in five different towns and two states yet are not allowed to vote on any budgets or local elections but one.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
