Anecdotally, most current or former homeschooled kids I meet seem pretty socially awkward. I wonder if It's because the miss-out on the opportunity to learn how to socialize properly as children. But maybe I'm being too critical, idk.

Yeah, no, with that NIMBY attitude nothing will ever get done. You really think the rest of the developed world got to were they are without some chafing along the way? It's almost as if you don't want shit to get better with that typical American defeatist mentality.

    No. Education works best from the bottom up. Parents are the biggest factor, not teachers or schools.

    And how do you get parents to universally improve over time? You can't drive the improvement without a top down incentive at bare minimum. If no child left behind failed, look at why and try again, don't give up and say the nation will be illiterate outside of the ruling class.

    you don't. the government doesn't get to decide how people parent. parents do.

    should the government also evaluate people's sexual performance?

    So the only people who have say over the life of a child is the parents. Children have no personal rights against domestic abuse including neglect. In this specific example, neglecting their development.

    The nation has a responsibility to make sure that neglect by the parents does not mean abuse to the child. That's why the ultimate solution for neglect is foster care. In the same sense, the state can encourage involvement by parents, but can't rely on it. Orphans exist, and more directly, abusive or neglectful parents exist.
