The homeschool advocates never ever bring up what that article brings up about parents who want their children well educated but don’t have the time to stay home to do it. Honestly, here’s why I like public and even private education outside the home. I think it helps kids socially. One of my big problems with homeschooling isn’t even education related but related more to the fact that I feel it shelters kids socially. Two, kids need to hear ideas from authority figures that are not their parents or relatives. Santorum would probably interpret this as “indoctrinating” but it’s really hearing someone who isn’t Mom or Dad offer an opinion. And thirdly some parents just aren’t cut out to be teachers. My parents were great parents but I wouldn’t want them teaching me and my brothers what we needed for college. Really the anti educator mindset that Santorum has is an alarming one.
