Home schooling vs. Conventional Schooling

[plthijinx]

this came up at work the other day. myself and 3 or so other co-workers were talking about home schooling vs. public/private schools. one guy (we'll call him "Bob") was so adament that home schooling was a bad idea that he almost started yelling! then again the guy he was talking to just kept egging him on. i am neither against it or for it. if one decides to do home schooling i think one should be qualified. Bob's argument was that if the chldren were home schooled they would not have a fair chance in society and therefore fail in life or for another reason, so they could focus on their sports. almost like the parents were "growing professional atheletes" as he put it. i went to both private and public schools and given the choice and finances i would love to send my boy to private school. hell, i even have the one picked out. as for home schooling, the only home schooling i would do and actually do from time to time is aviation ground school.
