It's s little disappointing how negative you guys are. Home school didn't get a bad rap from liberals, it got that reputation from religious fanatics that sheltered their children from life in general. The only reason anyone knew those people existed was because the kids weren't in school.

Schools have been liberal and declining for a long time, certainly while I was in school, and certainly for members older than I am. Yet, there are still members of society that are not worthless lepers. School isn't completely worthless yet. MOST of your child's behavior should be learned at home, and when that is the case they'll be much more resistant to bad stuff at school.
