I personally wouldn't send a child to government programming, but do you think that there will be a drastic increase in either of these?

Since NCLB was enacted homeschooling has skyrocketed. There are over 5000 homeschoolers in my county alone.

"government programming" ? I am always amazed at all the anti-education on the McPalin side. I have noticed Palin doesn't seem to be very pro-education,considering her own lack of education.
Don't get me wrong,I know there are some homeschoolers who actually do it RIGHT, but I wonder about those who deny their children a proper education due to their own tin-foil-hat paranoia of the
Big Bad Government.

what explains the quality of my posts? the fact that I went to private school and when I did go to public school, I was in the best county in the US? then I went to a great university. is that what explains it?

Do you even have to pass a course or get a certification to home school your child?

Lets say, you are a housewife who didn't graduate high school... can you legally home school your child?

government runs the schools. perhaps not the federal government, but government is government. I was right about one thing, and that is how to spell government.
