I was reading this article this morning http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/23062007/3/canada-tiny-outport-school-really-forever.html and couldn't help laugh at all the people who believe homeschooling should be outlawed for various reasons--they don't get different teachers, they don't get the same variety of kids to work with, they're not with loads of same-age peers every day, they [supposedly] don't get to play sports, etc. And here's this school where these two kids have been together for years with the same teacher, in a town that has very little to offer, I imagine, in terms of activities and certainly no sports. I have to wonder: do anti-homeschoolers believe that such places shouldn't exist, too? That it was wrong for the parents to stay there in a setting that was even more limited than what most homeschoolers have?
What do you think about it?
