Homeschool critics deconstructed, part II
4) Tyranny of the Teachers' Guild: This critic argues that only people with the proper teaching credentials should be allowed to educate children. After all, knowledge only comes to those who take education courses in college. That's where teachers learn the secret handshake to unlock the subtle workings of the universe and how to pass it on.
5) School as Social Services: Without daily interaction with outsiders in an institutional setting, how can we be sure children aren't being abused at home? This critic fears that home-schoolers have too much freedom to abuse their children. Not that they would, but without supervision they probably are.
Perhaps, they suggest, we could at least regulate home-schooling, get an expert inside the home, to look around and make sure these children aren't being abused. Why not? Studies show abused children are most likely to be homeschooled...wait, no they don't.
6) Born-Again Phobics: This anti-homeschooler doesn't like the idea of a child's education being left up to a crazy, born-again woman in a jean jumper maternity dress. Bible reading, bread baking, home births -- these families are so strange. And there is no greater danger to civilization than the insidious belief that the earth is only 6,000 years old. Burn the witches for their heresy!
Better these children attend school and be exposed to normal people with their correct embrace of a nihilistic, science-based agnosticism. Only then will they be free to choose their own path, as long as it isn't homeschooling their children in some crazy religion!
this just; and rather straight jeans high to help Skateboard, regardless of trousers lay down or rolled up can create a stylish and random effect.
