Mother jailed for home schooling her children - Germany

[Ardentfrost]

I don't think you have a realistic view of homeschooling. The parents aren't necessarily LITERALLY doing the teaching. They buy ciriculum from a site like homeschool.com and administer the classes and tests. Home schooled kids can't get a high school diploma from their parents, they have to go through a home school institution.

I don't see how that matters. Truth is truth. People will find the truth. People were taught similiar to what you're describing centuries ago, and yet, it still birthed some of the most brilliant men and women ever. Newton being one example.

Besides, everyday people are taught useless information. People that are going to work on a farm their whole life don't need to know about the specifics of biology. So, I could care less if they were taught evolution or creationism, or anything for that matter. It won't change their life or their effectiveness in their job.


This American philosophy that everyone should have complete exposure to everything is bullshit. It's useless.


And even if a mother were to teach their child those errors you posted, more than likely, once that person got out in the real world, they would raise their children differently when seeing the truth. So, it's not like some horrible cycle either.
