For a lingustics professor, you really have a problem with words and their definitions. A trend where more kids are getting a better education is a good thing. That's something that SHOULD be supported. No where in there however is the proclamation that kids SHOULD be homeschooled, and to avoid any other means of education
The point Plane & I were taking, was along the lines of squelching this knee jerk dislike the left has of any education that occurs outside of Public Education. There are bad homeschooled students, just as there are bad publically educated students.
I support any and all endeavors to educate our children, be it Public, Private, Charter, Homeschooled, etc. I will also highlight where they are failings, and currently there's some major failings in the Public Education System.....especially in those Union dominated regions, where the emphasis isn't about educating the Child but protecting the Public Education teacher
