Are Homeschooled Kids at a Disadvantage?

The only way to stop the drone making is to rob it of victims

This sentiment comes from the book, DUMBING US DOWN by John Taylor Gatto, and it pretty much sums up my feelings as well. It is my very educated opinion that any parent that puts their children in what is known as todays public school system either hates their children or doesnt care if they are victimized.
Another good book is, Character Under Attack by Carl Sommers, another teacher who informs us of what we already know deep down inside, that you can beat your head against a wall all day long but you will not change a corrupt system. While I do agree with him I have seen some changes but too little too late ie read about Cody Enterprise enewspaper on sex ed vote on removing outside venders from teaching sex ed. It took only two and half years but with over 500 parent and student signatures and a task force to evalutate the local family planning office teaching students about sex-ed to come up with the conclusion that hey we just might be undermining any possiblity of teaching them virtues when we have the culprit teach the class and therefore we now have teachers doing the job they should have been doing all along. But as wonderful as this is, its too much to do with a situation as corrupted as we are currently experiencing in public schools today.
I have been home schooling now for over a year and I wouldnt ever go back, not even under threat of jail, my child is more important to me than life itself and family is not worth risking anymore. This is what it was like before schools were ever invented when parents did teaching because its been a great experience for me and my family. Look around if it not violence on the campuses, its students harassing students, if its not that its poor academics and test scores, if not that its poorly maintained buses ie Yuba City High School bus accident of 1976, if not that its pregancies and pornographic images of homosexual fisting in schools, or raping of 13 yo boys with hockey sticks, or teachers seducing students, or professors selling their sons for sex, I could go on and on...When will the parents smarten up and show love and respect to their kids and take them out of hell aka public schools today.
