Should Homeschooling be Illegal?

[The Scientific States]

Homeschooling receives its share of criticisms and praise. Some say its bad because kids become isolated, and parents can't teach like teachers etc. However some people say it is great because it gives kids better opportunities, and teaches them family values.

So do you think homeschooling is a good or bad thing? I personally don't like it, a regular education would be much better, but I still don't know whether or not Im comfortable with taking away the rights of a parent to teach their kids.

Anyways what do you guys think?

If it follows a government-set curriculum, I don't see why it should be banned...

[Wind in the Willows]

No.

Public schools are pretty bad, homeschooling is the only alternative for families you can't get their children into private schools.

Very good point, however that's sometimes not the case.

Otherwise, yes it should be banned. It's detrimental to children's education.

I don't think it should be necessarily illegal, but I definitely don't like it. Many homeschooled children have social problems and don't perform as well academically as their counterparts. Many religious people also use it to try to isolate their children from dissenting information, which is wrong.

The right of parents to teach their children how they wish must be balanced with the right of children to a good education and economic opportunity, in any case.

Having been through it, I honestly would be a little happy if it was outlawed.

Pretty much what I believe. Homeschooling should be regulated.

[Tlaceceyaya]

A parent cannot explain to a child the things that a teacher can, they can only follow the (often shitty) curriculum to the word, because unless they're knowledgeable in a certain field, their knowledge ends where the curriculum ends.

No.
(But the government should stop making schools like prisons)

I'm no fan of it, but it shouldn't be illegal.

In my (limited)experience, it's extremes(and to a lesser extent people who don't fit on the left-right axis) that are arrogant more than liberals or conservatives.

So you're saying moderates and people on extreme sides of the political spectrum are arrogant?

Anyone can be arrogant.

I'll agree with you on extremists, but not centrists.

I'm sure anybody can be arrogant.

You will definitely need to source that claim. A simple google will find screeds of 'evidence' to the contrary...
