I don't agree with homeschooling being banned, but I do think there should be some kind of oversight to see that the kids are actually getting an education. I had a neighbor in Nebraska who supposedly home schooled her kids. The 10-year-old didn't know anything about a state versus a city versus a county, how to tell time on a non-digital clock, history, etc. He could read and do basic math. Did I think he was getting a proper education? No way!!!! The mom had all good intentions, but had 4 other younger kids, was totally disorganized and her house was mass chaos. No type of structure, organization or schedule. So who's the one losing out? Nebraska had no program to test these kids to make sure they were getting adequate instruction, that the curriculum was pertinent, that the kid would ever be ready for the real world. I think if parents choose to home school, fine, but somebody has to make sure they're getting the job done so the kids are ready for life out of the home. The parents can't be with them forever! |
