Some other "pro-homeschool" links/articles:
(Yes, I am aware that some of them are from "propoganda" sites, but any person that is strongly anti-home school will post links from the teachers union sites, etc.)

Against School, by John Taylor Gatto
The Six-Lesson Schoolteacher, by John Taylor Gatto
Homeschooling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Marc Tucker "Dear Hillary" Letter

Here's a quote from the last one.
Please note that the "client needs" here means "business needs" and "corporation needs", not student or parent needs.
Quote:
What is essential is that we create a seamless web of opportunities, to develop one's skills that literally extends from cradle to grave and is the same system for everyone -- young and old, poor and rich, worker and full-time student. It needs to be a system driven by client needs (not agency regulations or the needs of the organization providing the services), guided by clear standards that define the stages of the system for the people who progress through it, and regulated on the basis of outcomes that providers produce for their clients, not inputs into the system.
