Please realize, I’m not trying to bash anyone. I’m a teacher in a private school, but realize that no one system works for everyone.
But if a parent of a kid in a traditional setting drops the ball and stops sending the child in for an education, in theory someone will notice when the kid stops attending school.
If a teacher in a traditional setting drops the ball and doesn’t teach the curriculum, in theory someone will notice-- at observation time, or next year when the kids don’t know anything.
It simply never occurred to me that there was no “in theory” way for “someone to notice” if a homeschool parent opts out of educating a child.
Obviously I’m talking about a tiny minority, and not to anyone on a site dedicated to getting into college. It just never occurred to me that there wasn’t someone checking to ensure that those kids were getting adequately educated.
In any event, my apologies for the hijack.
