In reply to the discussion: Jessa Duggar compares Holocaust genocide of 11 million people to abortion. [View all]bravenak
(34,648 posts)21. Well, maybe not sterilized, but they should have to complete all public school general requirements.
And they need to be monitored very closely and tested to ensure they can teach the material to the students without the teacher. Often teachers are the first ones to notice signs of abuse and are mandated to report it. I worry that we have children who are abused with nobody to tell.
There was a case in our state where the kids were christian homeschooled and the abuse was horrifying.http://hsinvisiblechildren.org/2013/07/16/15-children-of-robert-hale-papa-pilgrim/
I feel bad for saying it but, I do not think homeschool should be permitted without frequent visits from a social worker or a tutor and maybe a councilor. Because of Papa Pilgrim.

Yup. People homeschool for all sorts of reasons. Broadbrushing is always wrong.

The explanation I heard was to put "gifts" on there that the younger sibs could buy.

If the Duggars and their ilk had their way we'd all be forced to have children until we died.
