Yikes! Good thing these people, whom you so clearly despise, will cease to exist after school and will never have to be dealt with in regular life.

I guess the rise in homeschooling is not surprising when we openly view our fellow civilians as inherently poor/violent and shouldn't exist.

They can be avoided later in life just like they can be avoided in public schools. Freedom to choose was established 50 years ago, sorry if you dislike it.

No need for the apology, as I never said I disliked anything and you certainly don't seem sorry.

I'm not sure how you are avoiding all of the people working at or frequenting coffee shops, the DMV, car mechanics, the grocery store, airports, or any other scary place where you might be forced to interact with real people. Not to mention co-workers, school parents, sports parents, family members, in-laws, and more whom you may have to spend your valuable time around.

Enjoy the life of avoidance.

==It says something about a system dedicated to teaching children when parents think they can do as well or better.==

I think it also says something about the parents who think they can do as well or better.

Well, they tend to be right. Outcomes for homeschooled children are broadly significantly better than government schooled children.

Also, just FYI, to quote someone you prefix the text with ">".

It's insightful how they said segregation and financial means and you immediately went to racism.

There is certainly some level of segregating the children from families who have the means to "dedicate huge amounts of their time and money to homeschool their children" and children from families that don't have those means.

You can't use the word segregation wrt people and then pretend it's surprising or unreasonable when someone assumes you're talking about racism.

They used the phrase "If you can afford it." The charitable assumption would have been that the segregation was tied to income.

I never said it was surprising or unreasonable, I said it was insightful. Your comment is further digging in on that point.
