I feel this is the crux of the matter which is why so many religious nutcases want to home-teach their children. They are terrified that their faith cant handle this situation and would be exposed as the fraud that it is.
Home-teaching is illegal here.
Yeah, I think that's the size of it, too. On the positive side, that's a little bigoted kid who is no longer in a position to inflict his bigotry onto other kids at school. That's a result all by itself. Doesn't do the little bigoted kid much good, but short of removing the poor bastard from his bigoted parents, that kid's future is nearly settled already.
But, before you get on a box and rail against teaching kids at home, you have to understand why people do it. I have no good local examples, but I'm not about to put my boys in the public schools here or anywhere. The quality of the education they get in public schools is shit. Kids learn to be compliant laborers in public schools. Nothing more. It's what public schools are purposely designed to produce.
Those kids are going to be working for my kids.
