Homeschool

My wife home schools our children She does out of concern for the safety of our children and for the opportunity to raise our children to be upright citizens of this country. However the state of Arkansas is in the process of passing a law that would place unnecessary burdens on me the parent from assuming my parental responsibilities and raising my child. Because when my family started growing each of those children were placed into my care as my responsibility. It is not the responsibility, nor can can it be made so either financially or in time and resources, of the state to raise or educate children. It is a service, needed by many, which helps children receive a basic education with which they can go forth as productive Americans. It is my choice as to whether a service is used or not. The state of Arkansas seems to be attempting to absolve parents of their responsibilities by stripping them of their rights as both parents and Americans. Is home schooling perfect, no, but neither is the public school. In a homes school environment there are better opportunities for one one one teaching to enable children to better excel in the subjects taught. Some people may complain that some home school children are just being left to their own devices and are not really being taught any thing, an argument which is valid in the public school system as well and is why my oldest is now in private school, he was being passed through to get him out of the way. It has been in the last two years after public school that he learn that reading is important if you want to get along in life. If I was to pass a law which stated all public school officials were required to talk the bus each day they would scream discrimination against a choice in transportation, that is kind of how some home school parents feel about this law.
