Homeschooling should be discouraged because kids are not learning essential subjects that they would learn in school. In Ontario, parents were recently accused of neglecting their children’s education. “It is alleged that their education was being neglected and that two the the three [homeschoolers] had an apparent inability to read (Mitchell 1). Parents are not suited to teach their children, unless they have received the proper education for the grade being taught. If parents are not able to teach their children necessary skills, then their children should not be homeschooled. In support of this, the California Supreme Court recently ruled that “... the mother could not teach from home because she did not hold a valid sate teaching credential for the grade being taught” (“Home Schooling Threatened” 1). Parents do not necessarily know how or what to teach their children. Also, according to the California Supreme Court “... [traditional] schools are the best way to promote a general diffusion of knowledge, and intelligence” (“Home Schooling Threatened” 2). Traditional schools are clearly much better for a child’s education than hoping that their parents will teach them the necessary skills that they need for life.
