Homeschooling growth

I think it is fair to generalize that parents care more about their kids than teachers do.

Yes, there are exceptions, and I could probably point at a few. But on the whole, bet on the parents.

Some parents won't be good teachers. Among them are the nut cases (white or black supremacists "Ancient Egypt was black"), the criminal (we already see 2'nd generation gangsters, and some 3'rd), and the feckless and stoners. But their kids will suffer whether or not their parents are the primary teachers, so concentrating on the minority is a waste of time.

Instead look at the big picture in this story: well-educated youngsters freed from the dangerous environment of the typically miserable black neighborhood schools.

The BBC reports that black parents in the US are turning to homeschooling. The reporter trots out the usual complaint that the public schools will suffer because of the loss of motivated parents, as though it were a parent's duty to sacrifice their children in the faint hope of improving things for somebody else's children in the distant future.

The black families tend to be more single-mother, which is a serious hardship for teaching, but cooperatives will help. This looks positive, and I'm a little surprised it hasn't been a bigger movement before.
