He won't answer, since he realizes he described public education almost perfectly.

As I posted before, 9 out of 10 times child abuse happens behind closed doors.

Again, you know nothing about home schooling in the United States.

Child abuse is the same all over the world.

The following is your post I was responding to: Please indicate where you said ANYTHING about child abuse -

I see nothing about child abuse in YOUR post above.

I do see an extreme ignorance about home schooling however.

The thing you do not seem to understand (or simply refuse to understand) is that all child abusers will always support home schooling because they have to be smart to not get caught.
They'll only applaud the ignorant people who support them in making home schooling the norm.

So - you post one thing with nothing to do with child abuse and when called on it - you want to spin it - you refuse to acknowledge that you know nothing about home schooling - you know NOTHING about education in America - you actually know little about America at all - and, you can provide no PROOF of your foolish child abuse and homeschooling link - it is merely you "opinion" - and that is not worth much -

And, I highlighted a statement - an ABSOLUTE statement, above. Prove it.

Ahuh, I never before claimed that home schooling is a form of isolation and that isolation only works in the favour of child abusers.
I guess you're doomed to only see the things that you want to see.

The reason you see child abuse by homeschoolers occasionally on the news is because it happens so rarely, that it's truly NEWS. You don't see the other 99.999% of child abuse (not perpetuated by homeschoolers) cases on the news, because the fact that "normal" non-homeschooling parents sometimes abuse their kids is NOT news.

You so obviously have no idea whatsoever what you're talking about that you're grasping at straws and back peddling, but it's apparent to everyone what you're doing.

I responded to a specific post with - "you don't know anything" (and, you don't)

And, I'm still waiting for you to back up your assertions about child abuse and home schooling. Or, are you merely full of crap?

And, PROVE your statement that ALL child abusers favor home schooling - you made the statement without qualification - now, prove it
