...for every child in the U.S.A. to be homeschooled? I don't think so, without some radical restructuring of our society.
My best understand of the concept (mass homeschooling) so far is that parents would form cooperatives for teaching. But that sounds to me like just another variation of what we have now -- sending your kids away to be taught by someone else according to some agreed-upon standard curriculum (which would necessarily be a compromise of what all the co-op members thought should be taught).
But I'm game -- How else might it work? Is there a pure form of homeschooling that we could reasonably expect to result in every kid getting a "good" education? If society does need to be re-tooled to support it, how, and is it a sustainable society?
(P.S. - I notice that there aren't very many threads in this forum. I hope it wasn't inappropriate for me to post this here.)
