Re: Many Muslims Turn to Home Schooling, NYT article?
I hope we're talking about the same contrast and dynamic. I don't think it is any gender competition causing this (though it may result in one!) but rather a certain type of people simply think it is ok for boys to get into girl trouble because they don't conceive. It is simply a softer version of honor killing.
Americans do home schooling for a variety of reasons and yes some of them are not so noble. But the handful of home schooled kids I have come across are not in any way inferior in social skills. because even though they were home schooled, they still had a social life
So it becomes what is actually imparted in the 'home school' and what is curtailed.
I think the numbers are pretty low for it to become a crisis but 1 million is not negligible either
