So there may be some instances where children homeschooled don’t do as well, but the research has shown these are the exceptions.

All of this side steps the important isuses of what is the purpose of education, and who is responsible. Public schools seem to think that the purpose of public education is to provide jobs for teachers, and that the parents have no say in the matter.

My experience has been far different. Home schoolers with a few notable exceptions are usually behind, often unmotivated, and generally poorer students.

I agree with much of what you said about postmodernism, but as a rule your to much of an idealogue to be taken seriously.

I’d say given your own illiteracy above that you’re either full of shit, or one of those education majors.

This is a strawman, it could easily be reversed into those who are Male, caucasian, and Judaeo-Chritistian are the holders of the truth. And really Judeo-Christian is a misnomer. They believe radically different things.

‘I applaud parents who homeschool their children. Over the last few years I was at my last post I got more and more homeschooled students, and they were by far my most competitive and motivated students,’

My experience has been far different. Home schoolers with a few notable exceptions are usually behind, often unmotivated, and generally poorer students.

Even if this wasn’t the case you have set up a false dicotomy. Home schoolers with good parents produce good students. Likewise in a public school setting. Bad parents produce bad students more often. So really your not seeing a benefit from home schooling your just seeing good parents who have happened to home school their children.

Have you ever had a good student who wasn’t home schooled? Many? Your argument simply doesn’t hold up.
