I think the bottom line is that home school and public school are not disparate things.
The most successful public schools are those that have incorporated aspects of home schooling (or, perhaps something more akin to "community schooling", which is what the best home schooling seems to be). High levels of parent involvement, small classes, content specialists, etc.. And on the flip, "together" we can do far more than separately. That's what I think the government can support. A "togetherness". Resources that would be impossible to provide as individuals or small groups of individuals. Eh. My favorite part of education is critical thinking. Teach someone to fish, right? Ught-oh. Now I'm getting all random. Guess that's it for me! :d3n -- For God is my witness that I neither preached, affirmed, nor defended them, though they say that I did.
