So what are the religious reasons for home schooling? Is it just to keep the kids out of the secular cultural environment? They don't want their kids learning about evolution? They want their kids to have a religious education (Biblical history, etc)?

I know our long lost Amy Parker homeschooled her son for the opposite reason -- she felt Salt Lake City schools were basically religious. Her munchkin was in a private school but then it started to have problems so she finished him off herself.

I have examined this utterance over and over. It still makes no sense to me.

Daisy Jane, I read that article last week. I know someone in TX that is an Unschooler. I think the article was pretty open minded about the whole thing but I'd be freaking out if I ran into a 14 year old that couldn't read.

Apparently, the rules are so loose in Texas that just about anything goes in regard to homeschooling. Which I guess is fine, if you're actually going to teach your kids something. But that leaves it so open that people could just set their kids loose and not teach them anything and that would be legal, too. Which is scary.

Ever been to the rural south?
