1. A good parent who teaches their children is undoubtedly more effective than the public education system.
2. Getting rid of centralized control and giving it back to states and local communities =/= aboloshing the public school system

And that right there is the main qualifier that makes this whole thing fucked up.
Yes, he does want to get rid of public schools. CAn't find the source but it used ot be there on his website.
"* Help parents better educate their children by providing parents with a $5,000 per child tax credit for tutors, books, computers, and other K-12 related educational needs.
* Ensure that the federal government treats high school diplomas earned through homeschooling the same as other high school diplomas."

You trust the government to do a better job? As for the bolded, I'm not sure what you're trying to say- are you quoting that as a negative or something?

Yes. Say I work really hard to get into a really tough school. My diploma is worth just as much as someone who got homeschooled to, likely, a public school level.
You're just innocent leather. You think the average person is the paradigm of model citizenry and intelligence.

So many things wrong with this post I don't know where to begin. If you worked to get into a really tough high school (AKA your parents paid a lot), your diploma would be of equal value to a public school one in the eyes of the government. No reason why a homeschool diploma shouldn't be the same. A diploma from a shitty inner city school and a nice suburban one might be less prestigious in the eyes of college recruitment, but they are both equally valid in the eyes of the government. As they well should be.
The bolded is the exact opposite of what I believe.
