I have another student who has withdrawn from public school to be home schooled. Oh wait, her parents aren't actually "homeschooling" her. Rather, she goes over to a local facility for home school students. She is a junior and says there are 20 in her classes. That's a bunch of kids. There are no standards for the teachers, no standardized tests to take and class only meets once a week. Now get this. Students who were struggling in public school suddenly make all A's and B's. What's more, they can take twice as many subjects as they were taking before and graduate a year early. What's more, they can get a daytime job at Chick-fil-a and rake in the bucks with 30 hour work weeks. Class only once a week, twice the subject load, top grades, graduate early with money in your pocket.

How can anyone fall for this? Why does the government allow it?

There may be some great home schooling efforts going on, but this is certainly not one of them. This is just education fraud.
