"The other major problem people have with homeschooling is that it puts the responsibility of the child directly in the hands of the parents. For parents that is scary. If they send their kids to public school, they could blame all of the child’s problem on a failing school system, politicians and lack of funding, then sleep at night, guilt-free, knowing that the government did their best to raise the kids. After all, it does take a village. Homeschool parents can’t do that. Since homeschool parents are directly involved in the education, and ultimately the raising of their own spawn, they cannot shrug off the blame to another. They have to shoulder the entire responsibility themselves! Who wants that kind of responsibility? If a parent wants responsibility, they would have gotten a dog, or perhaps, a cat, or even a goldfish! Not a child," writes guest author Shaun Persian with his tongue in his cheek.
