for skipping school and half of the time kids only skip one period not all day
Because they want you to realize that you need an education otherwise most people resort to crime and you will end up doing a lot more community service.  It's a punishment for breaking the law.  You are not supposed to enjoy it.  I recommend stop getting caught.
I'm with you.  Let's see the valid studies!\n\nNHERI has done a tremendous amount of research.  Dr. Brian Ray and his colleagues give presentations in courts of law, to the US Congress, and to governments of foreign countries.  The statistics are clear and present the fact that home-schooling is a very good method of education.\n\nI personally helped with one project that involved questioning home-school students in regards to the military.  The study involved questions that could help the military adjust their enlistment requirements and recruiting policies.\n\nEvery home-school will have it's "issues" just as every public school has areas that need improvement.  The question is:  Who do you trust more -- parents or the government?
