Public schooling is mostly useless in creating usable job skills. They teach way too much bullshit, most of which will be forgotten. I learned the vast majority of what I know about computers on my own. Besides, computers are dirt-cheap these days. An under-$400 laptop can last for the period of the high school years easily. Are you telling me their parents can't cough up $400 in a four-year period? Only thing that's left is keeping kids out of gangs, and that's questionable. At best public schooling is daycare for extra stupid teens who might learn a thing or two while they're there. People who can control themselves and aren't stupid don't really need it except for the diploma which is really pointless except in the sense that some people might think a kid is stupid because he doesn't have one. Once you have one, nobody gives a shit.

some skills are social and disciplinary in nature. Computers are pretty expensive. Getting decent computers is even more expensive. And I trust public schools to properly educate kids more than I trust the average home schooler.
