We've had this discussion with Mordor before.
While I agree with the arguments for home schooling, the life experience of bullying, friendships, social interaction, etc, are some things that the home can never provide and are an absolutely essential part of growing up. Schools also provide a lot of great resources such as expensive computer software licenses, and database access to help students that want to learn more than what's in the classroom.
There is no reason for a child not to be educated at home while attending public school. Stop letting the school raise your kids, and participate in their education. If you don't have time to do this you probably don't have time to home school either.
and @Pet_Sounds - it's a lot about test scores in college as well.

Niggas talk about change and working within the system to achieve that. The problem with always being a conformist is that when you try to change the system from within, it's not you who changes the system; it's the system that will eventually change you.
