Homeschoolers generally do better than public school educated kids, how can you say it is not the best thing for children? IF home schooled gets did lousy when compared to public schooled kids then you might have something to base that comment on.

James, I was not able to find any good links, but there must be some that are fair and unbiased..
The wife and I have discussed this and conclude that a decent public school can educate a child better than the parents at home. And this makes sense to me. Another thing, well educated children recieve several hours of education daily at home, no school, public or private can "do it all".
The key word is "decent", maybe 50% of our schools are lousy - the inner city ones in particular.
Having the home schools illegal, as they are in Germany is not a good idea, we must not adopt it.
Instead, the parents in the inner cities should start caring about their children and THEIR schools...This really applies to all parents..Generally, the parents and schools in PA and NY do quite well..
