A national ban on home schooling?

Harrison Bergeron: “Dad, can you help me with my homework?”
Mr. Bergeron: “Nope. It’s against the law.”

But opposition to home schooling from academia is not funny. It’s ignorant. And it’s pathetic.

Home-schooling primarily occurs in the lower grades with a relative few continuing into high school. To suggest that this level of home-schooling should be banned is ignorant because it’s bureaucrat-centered, not student-centered. It refuses to consider why parents remove their children from public schools in the first place. And worst of all, the suggestion is pathetic, coming from supposed intellectuals who damn well should know better.

Well, it’s surprising to hear a Harvardian admit to it.
