While viewing the forums at Crosswak.com, I came across the following link discussing the topic of home schooling: Home-schooling robs children. The main premise of the post, original featured on the Holland Sentinel Community Bulleting Board, seems to be that home schooling is a detriment to children. The following paragraph taken from the aforementioned post, intrigued me the most:
I have met and talked with a variety of home schoolers, both children and parents. Many have great gaps in their knowledge. Many are incredibly naive. Some do quite well -- they would have been superstars in school. Others can't wait to leave home, knowing full well that they have been cheated.
Parents often believe that they are protecting their children from the "evils" of life. However, children cannot be brought up in a bell jar. Remember that the school day is only six hours long, five days a week. That leaves many hours during the week and summer for the parent.
