You made very good points. However, you were wrong about the reason that I posted this story. I did so because this is the homeschool website that celebrates the positive without ignoring the negative.
It is important for those working with homeschoolers or advocating for homeschoolers to have a view firmly grounded in reality.
Although the vast majority of us homeschool our children because we love them, there is a very small minority of parents who use homeschool laws to help them control children that they hate.
