Why Homeschooling is Better than Public Schools

Children are raised with and by their own parents. Spending your childhood with your own family is one of the most important things you could give a child. We naturally understand that taking a child away from its parents is a horrible crime and long lasting harm to the child. Taking a child for most of their waking hours for the duration of their childhood is similarly harmful to the child. I spoke with a homeschool mom who found that when she took her son out of public school they seemed to be on the same page in a way they weren't together. They were on the same side, part of a team. Public school makes partial strangers out of children, and stresses communication that is so important.

If the parents and siblings aren't abusive, homeschooling is much safer. Bullying, which is just child abuse that is glazed over because the abuser is also a child, is common place in public schools. Then there is the alarmingly high rate at which young children are exposed to sexual material, by other children and by adults. If we take our job to protect children seriously, public schools are a questionable to say the least. This is besides what is going on with the pandemic.

The government should not be given the power to indoctrinate the minds of the population. This is inevitably opposed to the beliefs and morals of some parents. It may violate the beliefs of the parents to allow their children to be indoctrinate in immoral or false ways.

Homeschoolers generally score better academicly than Public schools.
