Man, all you guys who “homeschool” have nascent Einsteins and little geniuses !
(Albert E. was, reportedly, dissed by his teachers as not showing much academic potential, esp. in math !)
Even though CA courts have no right to step on your choices and your justified skepticism about many public schools today…recollect that “homeschooling” (not all that long ago) was largely the province of parents who didn’t want their children exposed to ideas and thought that might contravene the parents’ belief.
So there’s a bit of a perception battle.
Johnny Walker Lindh (“the American Taliban”) was homeschooled and his “thinking” (or not thinking) is absolutely a reflection of his own parents’ limitations.
