| | :While homeschooling is undeniably very important today to counteract the biases and dangers inherent in the centralized public school system, I'm afraid I fail to see the importance of homeschooling in the case of Mark. After all, at the time that he was homeschooled there was no public school system as there is nowadays. The importance in his case was that he was schooled at all, which was certainly not the case for the majority of kids at the time. In Rome, I know that most of the kids in wealthy families were homeschooled, mostly by slaves, often of Greek origin. I suppose that the situation in Israel was similar, and that the majority of the poorer kids were not schooled at all. Hence, the principal merit of Mark's mother lies in the fact that she provided for any education for Mark at all, thus enabling him to write his marvellous Gospel. | | :While homeschooling is undeniably very important today to counteract the biases and dangers inherent in the centralized public school system, I'm afraid I fail to see the importance of homeschooling in the case of Mark.
