Yes our public schools are doing a poor job. And given the majority of kids go to public school; that is where the attention needs to be directed.

The problem is also that homeschooling has massively different outcomes for different kids. For some it’s a positive, for others it deepens divides.

Homeschooling is worse than a bandaid solution, and a regression for many kids. We can’t ignore those who are hurt by an ongoing deregulation of our educational system just because it works for some.

And worse, we need to look closely at how that system is being abused by those with specific agendas.
