As long as the child passes an annual standardized test and isn't being isolated due to neglect, abuse, or indoctrination, I think anyone should be permitted to homeschool their kids.
Where do you think more kids are indoctrinated and abused at? Home or at school? If you think that a family that would take the time to home school their children is the problem, you are oblivious to reality. The problem is two income families who have a child, stick the child in daycare, drop off the child at school and pick the kid up at daycare. These parents have no room to complain when their kids fail in their academics. They have no room to complain when their children are turned into raving liberals. Parents who dont want to spend any time or effort raising their children are the problem. Not the parents who care enough to teach their children.
