  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

The other side: Homeschooling can prevent children from learning about and being exposed to other kids from different backgrounds, Knight pointed out.

While public schools are held accountable for meeting student outcome standards and have requirements to teach social studies curriculum and civic engagement, "none of that is true for homeschooling," he added.

There are also other challenges that present themselves "when it comes to this fracturing of educational experiences and common experiences," Stephen Aguilar, an assistant professor of education at the University of Southern California, told Axios.

Among them are the absence of mandated reports when a student isn't in a traditional classroom, the lack of measures of a student's progress and the introduction to certain concepts, Aguilar said.

Absolute understatement. And completely ignores the problems of handing children over to corporations.
