    You gave yourself as an example affirming what I said but suddenly we’re at an impasse? This isn’t adding up.

      Found it after writing the comment originally.

      Do you count safety drugs and negative peer pressure as religious? I was counting that and academic rigor as the schools being bad. And religious reasons I was counting as religious.

        Problems with schools really come down to a choice by the middle class. That choice was that they wanted to keep their money rather than live in a good society. Schools have suffered as a result. This is by choice, not by design.

          Sure. But that doesn’t change that people homeschool because the schools are bad. I absolutely agree that schools should be better.
