I'm not opposed to it in theory, but in practice I can't even imagine what it looks like.
For instance, I like the fact that we start our school day with a prayer (the Pledge first, actually), and that the curriculum is a Catholic one, showing pictures of Jesus, etc. I like that, though it's not all that different from what you would get in a private school, I'll admit. I guess what appeals to me about it is that if D has a question I will not shoo her and say, Not now we are learning long U's in phonics. It's not the time to ask about if anyone has ever seen an angel in real life. I can address her question and I like that..so in that sense, it is a plus for me--that I can be as religious as I like, when the moment strikes her.
Otoh, I will teach evolution simply because it is irresponsible NOT to. (don't you love that I repeatedly end sentences with prepositions and I'm her TEACHER! Zoinks, lol)
There's good and bad to homeschooling, for sure. I just happen to think the good far outweighs the bad. Although my neighbors think I have agoraphobia or something, due to the homebirthing and now homeschooling. The two are completely unrelated but try telling that to a group of nosy no-life-havin busybodies.
