I would agree that parents can do as good or better at _most_ subjects thru about the 3rd or 4th grade, and I do agree that most of todays schools are shit, however there is one area--social skills--that homeschooling simply can't compete. Children need to learn how to interact with one another in groups larger than a family unit. I don't think that homeschooling can accomplish this nearly as well as the public (or private) schools could.

I understand that many parents that homeschool belong to organizations that provide for meetings twice a week in which the children so educated in a certain area get together. Homeschooling does not have to stand in the way of a normal socialization process. --Lucky
