In my mind, home schooling is not the way to educate the next generation. It is simply enabling cultural enclaves and extremist sects. I want a free, government run school system with high academic standards. i.e. science, math, language, history etc. not magic and superstition and a hundred different languages.

Certainly, in this case, with issues with minimum hygiene, &c. the questions are certainly clearer. But the situations, especially in cases where home schooling keeps the children out of the public eye, where children are being grossly misinformed and psychologically abused, society must draw some lines.<br /><br />The common characteristic with these sects (and common to virtually <b>all</b> cults) is pathological male behaviour. It doesn't necessarily go as far as sodomizing the young, but invariably involves <i>power tripping</i> on their women.<br /><br />If our society permits children to be raised without their being minimally equipped to function in our society (and <b>that</b> is precisely what much of this twisted 'home schooling' is about) we do them a serious disservice.<br /><br />However, in simplest terms, are the language skills displayed by this teacher actually adequate for the task of 'home schooling' in an English-speaking culture?<br /><br />http://levtahor.ca/statement-of-principle.html<br />Madeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593933575568389288noreply@blogger.com
