Hate to admit this, but I couldn’t agree more with you on the homework issue, scaredy.
edit: Like they can’t get all the “learning” done in the six+ hours they spend at school each day? Like you’ve said, homeschoolers can get the same amount of instruction/knowledge in a tiny fraction of the time. Also, their parents know exactly where their strengths and weaknesses are and can modify/correct any problems quickly, as well as give them more advanced work where it’s warranted. A teacher with 20+ kids can’t do that.
