Every time I see articles in this topic, it just solidifies my opinion that homeschooling should not be allowed. We live in a community, and part of that means learning a common set of skills, social interaction with others in your community, and secular, science-based lessons.

As a homeschool survivor I wholeheartedly agree. I'm middle aged now and I still struggle with basic social skills.

I was homeschooled through middle school because the public school administration wanted to put me on Ritalin despite the school psychiatrist's objections.

Public schools aren't perfect either.
