Very true - we have a niece who finally admitted her "christian homeschooling" (reformed presbyterian) was really her 5 school aged kids played and watched tv all day while she cared for an infant and toddler. When they finally started public school, all 5 elementary age kids were 2-3 grades behind. the 5 yr old started in 3yr old pre school.☹️

but we also know some awesome home school families that use christian based curriculum, are involved in home school co ops, take advantage of dual enrollment for college credits, kids are in 4H, scouts, opt in to their local school district for band, sports, theater, building trades etc.

Besides that I would like to say as a medical college student, especially after I did this writing https://edubirdie.com/examples/abortion/ about abortion, I have to say that this in the past seemed to me a much more drastic procedure, and now I understand that it is actually better to have an abortion than to raise a child at home because you don't have the money to take it to a normal school; this also makes people poorer. I believe that if there were less unwanted children then life would be better.

I wanted to add here about the fact that actually if you are good at raising children and besides that you don't have a job and your husband creates the conditions for you to be able to live like that - then this is a good idea, because I'm sure the children will grow up smarter than they would be at a private school.

This is something interesting, but I think everyone can choose what and how to do.
