1. Most parents were educated in the under funded-public school system, and so are not smart enough to homeschool their own children.

4. Ridicule from other children is important to the socialization process.

5. Children in public schools can get more practice “Just Saying No” to drugs, cigarettes and alcohol.

6. Fluorescent lighting may have significant health benefits.

7. Publicly asking permission to go to the bathroom teaches young people their place in society.

8. The fashion industry depends upon the peer pressure that only public schools can generate.


9. Public schools foster cultural literacy, passing on important traditions like the singing of “Jingle Bells,  Batman smells, Robin laid an egg…”

10. Homeschooled children may not learn important office career skills, like how to sit still for six hours straight.
