Re: Nope, nothing wrong with home schooling or Public Schools and yes, both can be bad.

Sure, some kids are getting their heads filled with dreck in home schools.

* Yes.

But then a lot of kids are getting their heads filled with dreck in public schools too.

* Yes.

Personally, the best thing I found to do was to teach my two as much as possible, from the ABCs, 123s to life in general while I had them at home until they were Kindergarten age... and then some. I found myself answering questions, sometimes coming up with hypothetical situations and trying to help them realize, cope and absolutely think and deal with those situations. Teaching kids those things helps them build character and self esteem. If a cleric or politician doesn't have a good idea of what 'it's about'(no, not just about the birds and the bees), they'll be making some big mistakes along the way.
