CAR,
No every homeschooler parent is a former teacher. One of my sister’s is extremely bright but a bit whacky. She sheltered her kids and homeschooled them for years.When my nephew finally begged and got to public school he was at least a year behind. It took about 6 years but he caught up and rose to the top of his class by the end of it all. He spent a week with me last month and was able to engage in wonderful conversations about literature, economics and politics. He is an incredible young man now but had he never gotten to a great public school he would be a disaster. Getting away from homeschooling is the best thing that could have happened to him.
There is no right or wrong way for everyone. Schools work for some and not for others. I think that is something we should all be able to agree on.
