And I had dozens, and when I didn't have one there was a chance the next would be.
With home schooling that will never, and never have a chance, improve.
Because like it or not, if you're not that into math to start with you aren't going to get any more into it as the years go by.
And in my experience impassioned home schooling parents (beyond maybe a subject or two) are also rare and the harm is much worse.
I was wary of posting to this thread, like I said above: it is like abortion, people just end up defensive, annoyed, and probably angry. So I'll concede that every parent here that is home schooling their children is among the best exemplars of the craft ever.
But, in my opinion: most of the time a regular school environment that is bad will produce a mediocre education with mechanisms for identifying it whereas a home school environment that is bad will produce a horrible education with almost no such mechanisms.
