My nephews kids are homeschooled. They have a rigorous curriculum, specific goals, etc. They also have regular socialization activity with other homeschoolers. They just choose to not settle for the mediocrity, nor accept the indoctrination pushed by the education system.

No offense, but this is where it starts getting weird and into the whole "society is bad!" that seems pretty extreme:

Most people I know who went to public schools came out fairly well. I refuse to share this elitist/ideological attitude towards them. What indoctrination? Don't you think that's a rather general and blanket statement considering how varied each school district is? Maybe that's more of a criticism of how schools are run in your area.

That's exactly what someone who has been indoctrinated at a public school would say!

What indoctrination?

Is the Pledge Of Allegiance still a thing at schools?
