Pysah, I personally have not come across a parent who wants their child to know 200 words or be the reason that their child knows 200 colorful words. They don’t put their children in school praying and anticipating that other children will traumatize their kids. We all love our kids and we are all doing the best we can hoping for the best. We instill good values over and over so they too are morally strong. We are not throwing our children in a pit of filth for the sake of socially well adjusted kids. And why do you assume people only send their children to school because they will fail as parents if they homeschooled. Please come down among us humble parents and know we all have the same interest at heart and that is simply wanting the best for our kids. If homeschoolers are judged, then so are the school going lot because according to you, Not every parent is competent enough to homeschool.

For the last time … or may be not … home schooling is not for every parent … and I have stated why … for my wife at least her desire to keep her children safe outweighs her own need for her own private time, it outweighs her need for them to be successful and it outweighs her need for her to be working or studying herself … all of these things, she wants them … My desire is for them to be pure and untainted as long as possible … and that outweighs them being smart, being capable or anything else … I just want them to be very well mannered and wholesomely nice and steadfast in prayer … We both want our kids to have a fun upbringing and we want our kids to have a unique one … one that is different … so if you share these values then home school your kids … if you can … but I won’t hold it against you if you cannot … but if you don’t hold these values - then don’t home school because it won’t be done properly …

Saying “We all want the BEST for our children” is not saying that the home schooling parents and the school sending parents have the same value system … because the word BEST is interpreted in different ways …
