Today I'm a big fan of homeschooling. I cannot say I always was but you change and grow and gain wisdom. I would be afraid that if the state kept a directory of kids being homeschooled that families would be targeted and it's better they don't. It just seems like homeschooling is a win-win on so many levels. Government-run schools are getting worse. They look more like prisons than schools and our children do not deserve to be prisoners.
