Open Thread for Night Owls: Can home-schooling really promote progressive values?

12. It sounds like you are making the assumption homeschoolers never leave home

We spend the majority of our day out and about. "Home" is actually kind of boring for them. We interact with other groups, go to organized sporting and activities, spend time in the library. Go for hikes and explorations around the neighborhood and the parks. We spend LOTS of time playing games.

In school, those kids who are taught by nazis are likely to find other kids like themselves and their families, in an effort to find family approval and friendship.

And some kids might benefit from seeing alternatives to Nazism. Some won't. But we should not stop allowing homeschooling or applying more regulation to those who choose to teach their kids according to their values. In Wisconsin, it's about all we have left now that Walker has gutted our public school system.
