Homeschooling

Detroit strip clubs

A dancer, whom I've known for several years, told me that she is homeschooling her 10-year-old son because the schools in her downriver Detroit suburb are so bad. Hearing this, I was literally speechless (and I'm using the word "literally" correctly here).
I suppose homeschooling can benefit a child who lives in a stable home with two parents who are college graduates. But this dancer is a single mother with only a high school education. She is drunken and irresponsible. Her home is a mess, and it is dominated by a huge flat screen TV that is never turned off. She does not read books. She has a profound ignorance of history, literature and science. She has no discipline herself, and so it is hard to believe she will make sure her child does school work every day at home.
Would it be better for a child to be raised by wild dogs or be homeschooled by a stripper?
