My post on an earlier thread about my 5th grade experiences in school should have included additional information.
If my mother home schooled me, I would not have learned much. If my step dad would have home schooled me, I might have learned more things but would have been a very angry, down trodden person. Some parents don't have the ability or temperment to home school their kids.
My family could have been one of the bad experiments in home schooling. Other parents I knew at the time might have been good at home schooling their kids, just as some schools do a poor or better job at educating kids.
I think the parents and or school in question determines if home schooling, a private school, a public education, or a combination is the best way to go.
