In the 70s there were about 20,000 homeschooled kids. Today - 2 million and growing. There's no sense putting a child in a public school that sucks the learning ability out of a child and subjects him to a virtual prison in high school. Those children are the hope of the future. In fact - Eragon a soon to be released movie is based on a book written by a 16 yr old - at the time -homeschooled kid who would - no doubt - have been discouraged from even attempting to write anything beyond a paragraph had he gone to regular school. In fact, he may never have learned how to punctuate, conjugate. He would have been subjugated to the *state.* Some children survive, and you are right, they are the ones whose parents are pro-active - as was I, of course.
