If someone has children who do not obey and they home school- the issue is not home schooling. The child is disobedient. Maybe the parents are not in control of their children or the child might have a problem that you are unaware of - whatever the case might be - it is a heart issue. What if this child is disobedient at home, however, in the school classroom he/she acts fine & orderly? There is a problem that needs to be addressed. PLEASE stop blaming home education. Sometimes, the problems cease when the child is brought home because the parent is forced to deal with the sin in order to educate their son/daughter. When someone says, "I could never home school Blair because she would argue with me the entire time." There is an issue that needs to be confronted. WHY does Blair argue with the authority that God has placed in her life? WHY not use these opportunities to make Blair look at her own heart and listen to your voice. WHY? Because it is difficult. Are there other scenarios in which these authority lessons can be learned? Sure. However, there is something different that happens in these lessons. So, PLEASE do not blame an entire system of education on bad parenting or misplaced worship. I will not do this to the form of education that you have chosen for your child. Thank you.

Amen to that! I haven't heard that argument but I have had people say that they couldn't homeschool because their child wouldn't listen to them. Give me a break, you are the parent, practice disciplining them! I know people think we are abusing our children in some form because we homeschool but that's because they don't really know anything about it. They act like our kids are sooo deprived. I had a girl tell me that she met one home schooler, yes, just one, who was weird and rebellious and decided that all homeschoolers were like that. Well, I have seen plenty of plublic school kids murder eachother so, I guess they are all murderers. Just crazy thinking!
