I'd really like to agree with you, but experience teaches that most stereotypes exist for a reason. More often than not, its parents trying to hide their kids in the basement, or save them from whatever. Often shrowded by the excuse that they want to give them some opportunity that they wouldn't otherwise have, but the underlying motivation tends to be one of fear.

Im not for or against any of the options of public, private, or homeschooling. Im for diversity and strife, as it tends to build a stronger culture. That might sound like im for public schooling but im actually for having them all, and having upset people ***** about it all the time.
