I feel a rant coming on. This article is pure gibberish in my opinion:

Link: The Most Common Reasons Why Some People are Against Home Schooling

I will leave the argument that "homeschooled children don't get enough socialization," alone for the most part. I'm sure in some cases it is true, but we all know that a good parent who attends to this need can easily fill the need through church, play groups, co-ops etc.

How about this though?

"Another reason often mentioned is that home schooling may not provide the necessary structure or balance to prepare children for real-life situations."

And who determines what a "real-life situation" is in this context? Could it potentially be some numb-skull coffee addict?  Oh wait. That's me. Seriously though, some time ago I heard of a school here in California that had a class on how to work in a fast-food joint. Now how's that for real-life? Or how about the class that had a lesbian come in to teach on how a woman-woman household has advantages over a man-woman run household? Granted these are extreme examples, but there are more where those came from and some are more extreme.

Or this falsehood:

"Some argue that the homeschooling disadvantage may prevent children from reaching their full potential."

So why then are colleges snapping up homeschooled children?

Here's another one:

"When it comes to deciding whether or not to homeschool, parents should consult with their children. The children have the right to decide if this is the way they would like to learn."

Just like they have the right to decide what time they should go to bed every night? Maybe we should let them decide just how much candy to eat every day. Of course, my 4 year old would love to drive the family van, does he have that right? Come on now, does anyone really think that children have the discernment to understand the ramifications of where and how they learn?

Read the rest of this article if you'd like to, but please be careful not to buy into this ridiculousness. Read it to see just how dangerous a liberal mind can be when it reaches the logical extremes of a liberal worldview. I realize that the extremes of a conservative worldview can be just as absurd in ways, but is this the way we want our society thinking about the education of our children?

If we don't find ways to bring the truths of homeschooling out in our society, this kind of thinking will win the day. Remember this site calls itself  Your Homeschooling Resource. Maybe there is some good in this site. I haven't taken the time to look through it so I will be careful not to judge the whole site by this article, but I'm sceptical at the least.
