could be but I have known several and what they see in the public schools is harm being done and so they shield there children from that, so they for the most part are just being good parents.
One said to me once. "Remember when they used to teach us about propganda and how to identify it. Why do you suppose they do not teach that any more but continue to teach the theory of evolution as if it were fact??
I thought the parent had spotted danger and taken the proper action.
These are good questions. Make people think like you usually do.

NO........... If children are home-schooled due to parents wanting to pass on their values, it is not only their right but also their duty. I complete some of the definition of bigot.
A bigot is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of opinions, lifestyles or identities differing from their own. Bigot is often used as a pejorative term against a person who is obstinately devoted to their prejudices even when these views are challenged or proven to be false. Forms of bigotry may have a related ideology or world views.

The biggest part of being a bigot is that last part "and is intolerant of those who differ." How would Home schooling be intolerant by it's nature? Sound like from the answers you received that there are afew bigots here this Sunday morning... Jim

It's not bigoted. It's a smart thing to do, especially since:
* ... home schoolers, as a group, score better on general academic tests then their public school counterparts
* ... home schoolers are not subjected to peer criticism, bullying, and other destructive behaviors that are common in our public schools now that disciplien has been totally undermined.
* ... receive better discipline at home, rather than the free-for-all that currently exists in public schools.
* ... get better socialization skills since they live in the every day world with their parents and the rest of society, rather then being stuffed into an artificial box that has no real relation to life for 8 hours a day.
And more. As an employer, I'll take someone who was home schooled before a public schooled person any day. They have received better academic grounding; probably received better formation in principles, values, and character; and have developed a better work ethic than their public school counterparts (on the average, of course).

the challenge is you're mistaking the sharing and spreading of non secular beliefs (an exceedingly own determination) with making alternatives in the each day international. common sense and analytical reasoning is a few thing anybody has the in elementary words reason human beings (like you or atheists) have a tendency to position those who favor to percentage their non secular beliefs with others into the "dumb" class is that a million) you do not see that atheism is in fact a faith. you attempt to spread your individual beliefs that there is not any afterlife/GOD/Deities to all those who does position self assurance in those issues, and 2.) common sense and analytical wondering calls for practise to refine and hone it. the standard are effortless yet you try confusing to no longer keep an open options about what you want to discredit. There are extra issues in heaven and on earth than are imagined through guy so open your options and eyes and pay interest... yet then for sure you truly do not favor to understand or you'll not be thumbing down logical and analytical solutions. i'm particular i receives many thumbs down for my observations and years of diagnosis.

I don't believe that it is intolerance of other religion, that makes parents want to home school their children! It's intolerance of profanity, bullying, lack of one on one education, poor nutrition of school lunches, presence of pedophiles...need I go on? If people say they do it for religious reasons, I think they are just trying to make a long story short.

no they are exercising their right to " free will " however there may be problems with a person receiving a well rounded education. not from the intelligence standpoint but the interactions and necessary social skills. there are always advantages in public and private school settings as not just academics are taught.

Anyone can be bigot. I don't feel being home schooled MAKES one a bigot, unless those concepts are embedded in the lessons.

I don't know if they are bigots. But home schooling is a very strong indoctrination tool, for the religious right.

No. Most folks who home-school do it because they want there kids brought up knowing more about God. They are keeping there kids from learning junk in school. I have heard of schools where about all they do is watch movies. What learning is that? My neice never comes home with homework. Wheres the learning in that? Schools do not care anymore. There is gangs in school, drugs in school. I think home-schooling is smart.
