Thing is, there's just as many ways that PUBLIC schooling can go wrong, but because that's the 'standard' people don't think about those issues or really put that into the equation. Like, people always flap their hands and say "but what about the homeschooled kids' socialization??" (which is a word I never hear outside of people talking about homeschool vs public, lol) but no one says "Well, how much use is being exposed to a lot of other kids if cliques or bullying or [w/e] are a big part of that school 'socialization'?" Or how even if a parent isn't terribly 'qualified', a 1:1 teacher/student ratio has a lot of benefits over a highly qualified public school teacher trying to teach 30 highly varied students at the same time to the same level etc etc.

I don't really have any issues with homeschooling as a concept - I just have issues with how it is now, which is very lasseiz faire and unregulated (at least in my own experiences with it, though I recognize that this isn't as much of an issue in many areas). A lot of shit goes down in public schooling, too, but at least there are more people involved to detect when something is wrong and step-in. If there were more regulations around homeschooling - and if they were actually enforced to some degree, because I don't care what the average religious rights crackpot says, every student needs to at least know about evolution, even if they disagree with its veracity - then I wouldn't really have any problems with it in general.

I agree with you about knowing about evolution. I find myself wondering why people are incapable of just saying "We don't believe this stuff, but you have to learn it anyway, for educational standards reasons." That was the attitude at my church school at least.

Because having to teach their kids science is a violation of their religious freedoms. -_-

Their religious freedom to be uneducated idiots.

That is one of the types of Christian that makes me think "Stop being on my side!".
