I'm not really trying to convince anyone, just putting information and viewpoints out there for discussion.
Back in the 1990s I had a fairly negative view of home schooling, similar to the negative views expressed by many here.
My view began to change in 2002 when I took my first faculty job and saw the difference first hand between college students prepared by the public schools and college students prepared by home schooling. My view matured through a series of faculty jobs and family experiences in the public schools which made me painfully aware of how bad public education had really become since I was a student in the 1980s. Some of my faculty experiences are described here:

Just as I was unconvinced by homeschooling proponents in the 1990s, but later became convinced by things my family experienced first hand, I expect many readers won't be convinced until they begin to see the failures of the present educational system first hand. But when you do, you will have a better context and understand your options better having heard the experiences and viewpoints of a home school proponent.
