23. I know of a lot of public schooled kids who got daycare with textbooks

and no real education. :shrug:

If you're looking for homeschooling to look just like school, chances are that you're out of luck (though your changes of seeing something very school like are actually best with fundie families, they like the structure and heirarchy, they just want thier own priorities taught for the most part.) The question isn't whether the kids get tutoring obvious to an outsider, it's whether or not they learn. Both school-like and non-conventional homeschooling methodologies have a better track record for producing educated and self-sufficient adults than public institutional schooling.
