In my personal geographic location, the vast majority of homeschoolers are educated by the [[public school]] system, either through a website known as Florida Virtual School, which is operated by the state government under the [[Florida Department of Education]], or through a program known as "homebound" where the local school district sends a tuitor to the homeschooled students' homes and use the same liberal textbooks used in public school facilities. There are homeschooled students that are ''not'' associated with the public school system as well, but changing the setting to students' homes opposed to "brick and mortar institutions" does not combat atheist and liberal indoctrination in itself. I would note this on the article myself, but I figured it would be best to bring it to the talk page first to discuss. Also note that I personally have nothing against homeschooling, but it's simply not a "cure all." [[User:DMorris|DMorris]] 16:34, 20 January 2010 (EST)

:You're absolutely right, and please feel free to make appropriate edits to this (or any other) entry. That said, this is another example of how the exceptions do not prove the rule. The correlation is still very high being homeschooling and open-mindedness or [[faith]], even with the problem you describe. Students are better off in a virtual school than a bricks-and-mortar school, and most homeschooled students nationwide reject the virtual school curricula anyway. So it's a bit like saying that not all non-smokers are healthy. True, but the non-smokers are better off than the smokers, on average.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 17:22, 20 January 2010 (EST)
