/diy/ - Do It Yourself

There are several things at play here that homeschool advocates won't tell you about:

Homeschooling is prohibitively expensive for the vast majority of families costing about $40,000 a year. That is far more expensive than private schools that cost around $10,000 a year.

There is an active effort to dismantle public schools that is largely responsible for the decay/stagnation of the system. It is similar to a situation where a business has two owners, and where one owner is actively trying to drive the business into bankruptcy.
This is the NUMBER ONE problem with public schools in the United States and the reason for the growing difference between us and other developed nations. Home schooling will not fix this problem.

Homeschooling requires a full-time person who is disciplined, focused, and driven. There are many parents who do not have these qualities.

That being said, if you're in a position where you can homeschool your kids, I'm genuinely happy for you. However don't think that gives you the right to strip education away from the people who can't afford it.
