Answer 1

Yes it is. Obviously sexual predators aren't only at the schools - but when the school knew about it and he still was teaching?!! Where are the consequences for your actions people?

That's what we are trying to teach our children along with the academics, to be law abiding citizens who think for themselves, hew to a high moral standard, take responsibility for their own actions, are willing to serve others and stand up for what is right no matter what. Try teaching that in the public school with a Christian worldview! Absolutes? HORRORS! And we wonder why things are going down hill so quickly?

Answer 2

Typical con, get real and stop bashing public schools(we all pay for them via property taxes).  Homeschool your kids if you want, but you can't homeschool college.

Answer 3

Don't say, "liberal anti american" and "anti traditional values" as a reason to keep your kids out of school.

Not all homeschoolers agree with you, please don't act like they do.

Answer 4

Kids have to live in the real world. You can't protect them from everything. They could be inappropriately touched by a preacher or a priest. It happens all the time. Teach your children how to avoid dangerous situations. Home schooling doesn't guarantee that they will be safe.

Answer 5

How about the s*x education they receive constantly. I mean the education from their pears. I am not joking.

Answer 6

i home schooled my autistic son because he was being mistreated in school and no one wanted to help him or see to him...My daughter graduated from a public school

Answer 7

Yeah the guy is a sicko, but don't act like there aren't sicko parents also.  We can only do what we do to prepare our children for life, and hope that they don't run into one of those people.

Answer 8

I am quoting from the previous answer with my response "you cannot protect them from everything"?   No, you cannot but many parents think that public school is the only way to educate their children.  It is a rule for all states that children must attend school.  Many people have not educated themselves to realize that there are other options other than the government controlled school.   I cannot protect my son from everything, but there are certain things I can control.  I choose to control what I can while training him to make his own decisions.

Protecting the young people  from tax paid predators should be a priority for the school systems.  If the schools fail in this area, what other areas are being neglected?

Answer 10

This world is not as safe as it was 50 years ago. And it wasn't that safe back then either. But you can't put your children in a bubble underground. They have to learn how to make it now a days. Just teach them right from wrong and let them know that some people don't know right from wrong. Send them out and just pray for them. A LOT!!!!

Answer 11

these have always been the reasons  so you ask? are you looking for reasons or telling some?
