    I'm not making an assertion. At the same time I have no reason to accept Denny's premise that poverty/unemployment is keeping people who are convicted about homeschooling their kids from doing so.

    How about forcing a student to learn the earth is not flat, even if it is against their religion?

    Okay, so we can agree that you are just talking from your ass. Gotcha


    Okay let's even go that route. Show me a religion that still thinks the world is flat

    Where is that number coming from and does it account for the ease of a web-based curriculum?

    Parent has to stay at home with the kid. That's one less income for the family.

    $8 * 2080 is $16640. I figure the parent might get to work summers when "home school" is out.

    Like I said, if somehow they'll get it done worked, we wouldn't need any subsidy for the poor. ObamaCare, welfare, and on down the list.

    Parent has to spend extra time with kid but not 24 hours a day, particularly now that their are easily accessible web-based curriculums.

    No, I got it. If I hadn't gotten it, I'd have responded angrily. Like I might have said "YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT!!!111!" ;)

    Time to eat crow?

    Description of the Average Survey-Responding Family:
    Two parents with 2.1 children. Children range in age from infancy to 15 years old, the average age being 8.7 years.

    I don't know that they do, as long as they are meeting curriculum requirements.

    Actually he was a member of the Georgian Orthodox until he became a despot, promoting atheism suited his needs.
    You see in his form of government, the state is the religion and he was the pope. With the people being compliant atheist, he had no competition.

    No, they don't.

    About 3% of kids are homeschooled. Considering how the huge fraction of the other 97% are at risk of not graduating with even a 3rd grade reading ability, you'd think parents would care more and homeschool.

    They don't because they can't afford it.
