1. Hmmm. All I saw was a strightforward statement of the case.
I didn't see anything wingy or nutty. What am I missing?

3. Here's the wingy part
these home-schoolers would rather a few children be abused and denied so their children can continue being home-schooled. They also toss up one or two kids who have excelled in a home-school. What they won't do is compare the success rate of a public school against ANY home-school in America.

If a few kids grow up stupid, if a few kids grow up socially inept, even if a few kids are abused it's all OK for the home-schooler crowd, they want the right to raise dumb-ass children.

4. The public schools are doing just fine churning out a few stupid, socially inept, and abused kids.
You can't base policy off the case of the few, else we wouldn't have public schools because a few shoot up their classrooms, a few have sex with their teachers, and a few manage to graduate without learning how to read (not to mention the more than few that don't graduate at all).

"Kids are great. You can teach them to hate the same things you hate and they practically raise themselves, what with the internet and all." -- Homer Simpson

5. please tell me
you're not wanting to compare the success rate of public school to home school are you? You really won't like the outcome.
