Tuuk,
From what I've read, home schooler's excel above the other students. I'm
sure some parents are better at this than others but the figures said they
for the most part are doing very well.

I retired from teaching in the public system 18 months ago. I am
fully supportive of home schooling. Too many parents treat public
education as cheap babysitting.

But under no circumstances should home schoolers ask for public
support in the form of resources or assistance from the public system.
If you have principles, stick with them.

If they pay taxes, they are invested in the resource and as such have
access to the same resources as any other citizen.

This town's home schoolers make regular use of our system for things
like music instruction, special needs, atheistic and social functions.

I have no problem with that.

Later,

Tom
