Exactly. This is the heart of the argument. No one, on either side of this, wants to see this child ill-prepared for the real world.
As a home-school mom, I'm suspicious of the way this girl is being educated. I also cringe, because stories like this give home-schooling a bad reputation among people who vaguely know what home-schooling is. This woman is also making it harder for the rest of us to educate our children without government oversight or interference.
There are a variety of reasons to home-school. This mother's reason happens to be religious, which muddies the waters still further. But bottom line, if that child is not being educated by her mother, she should be educated by a teacher.
