I would home school my children to offer them a better environment for learning. Not to brainwash them, but to disallow them being brainwashed. School is so opaque, you learn to work as a team, with a boss, on a schedule, with a deadline, from 9-5 five days a week. What if a person wanted more for their life than training on how to be a 'productive member of modern society'? I can't count the times I got removed from class as a kid because the history texts were full of lies, and the whole program was a sham. The emphases on maths, the only part of life that is black and white.
I would rather my children learned in a better environment, and learned more of what they wanted too. School (at least over here) is an indoctrination center, so I find it humorous that you guys are saying only fundies and cranks keep their kids from public school.
The only loophole is that it's harder to social adjust your children outside of school. Not impossible, but certainly harder. Do something social with all the time you free up from removing the poor kids from the underfunded, staffed by perverts and idiots and managed by people with strange world views, system of schools.
Fucking school. I got suspended once because I asked if we could learn about another genocide, other than the capital H jewish holocaust again year after year after year. Why did we learn about the capital H holocaust? Because lobbyists for Isreali public opinion have some control over what the schools teach the children. Add the homosexual lobbyists, and the pro-evolution lobbyists, and the creationism lobbyists, and the contract from pepsi and nike. No wonder the schools so dysfunctional that they can output honour roll HS graduates that are functionally illiterate.
But hey, only fundies and cranks pull their kids from public school...
