Mind-numbing as it is, I'd rather have a state-approved education than one created by parents that could believe fucking anything.

This the main thing that scares me about home schooling. I know a religious lunatic who plans on home schooling her children (the fact that she's 17 and stating this only backs up my lunatic perception of her). They can brainwash. I mean, they can do that anyway, but only more so when they have complete power over their child's education.

I don't wish I was home schooled, simply coz I like who I am and any alteration of the past could change this. But it would be interesting to see how one would be different. My brother was home schooled, but he actually had a bunch of teachers come home and teach him. He's pretty social and a "people's person." I guess it just depends on whether someone's willing to try to improve themselves socially. It's natural to some, and not to others, but it can be achieved by everyone..

Still, I can definitely see why an intelligent set of parents would like to home school their kids (in the US). The state approved education sucks, it's killing our creativity and higher learning. Plus the environment of public education is shitty shitty shitty. Those are other arguments, though.
