This very religious parent stuff rubs me the wrong way. It's a red herring. Homeschooling was originated by the extreme political left -- not the religious right. Who were they trying t isolate their children from?

So the leftist parents are the educated ones you think do an okay job? That leaves only the "religious" parents to be the screw ups. Nonsense.

Parents of any religious background and political persuasion do fine. Regardless of the propaganda of the education establishment, it does not take 15 hours of ed pysch to teach children to read and "cipher."

In fact, want to venture a guess at which professional group has the lowest standardized test scores on college exams? Hint: These are the folks you trust your children's futures to if you toddle them off obediently to the nearest public school.
