Yeah, I guess I think it’s not a matter of public school vs homeschool that’s really important. I think it just matters that someone is encouraging a kid’s education and development. It could be a parent or a teacher.

What saddens me is that some kids I grew up with were deprived of that in their homeschools. They almost certainly would have done better in public schools than at home. Not that public schools are better than homeschooling, but they are better than neglect.
