Why would they be? They are a sweet homeschooling family of 20.
How do the Duggars homeschool so many children?
Once the children have mastered reading, writing, and basic math and science skills, their schooling and grading is mostly done through a homeschooling computer program. This frees up time for Michelle to tend to and teach the youngest children. The older kids who have graduated from high school help their younger siblings with their homework. Family activities often serve as educational field trips, where the whole family can learn together.
Do you learn more in homeschooling or in public schooling?
Homeschooling, of course, because not only is that child in a better enviroment, but his parents can put lots of attention on him or her, answer his questions and that child won't have to share one adult w/ 20 something other kids. Though that is true, some believe homeschooled children do not learn socialization, such as dealing with annoying children and other people. They believe children can socialization skills only in a public school enviroment, and that some homeschooled children are not prepared socially to live in the real world because homeschooling shelters them from normal life experiences. While it would be foolish to say this is not true for a certain percentage of homeshooled children, it is equally foolish to say that all public school children are adequately socialized to live in the real world. Responsible parents who homeschool their children provide socialization activities. With many groups (Scouting, dance lessons, music lessons, etc), sports (Little League, soccer, swimming, etc), plus church activities for those who participate in religious activities, and other group activities avaiable, no homeschooled child needs to suffer from a lack of socialization. In addition, many if not most, parents who homeschool recognize that socialization is important, causing them to link with other parents to provide socialization activities for their children. The statement that socialization is problematic for homeschooled children is just false! In fact, if one was to do a study comparing socialization of public school children and homeschooled children, I would guess that the homeschooled children are far advanced in every aspect of education, including socialization. The issue is not which is better in general, the quality of education always depends upon the teacher and the learning environment. If parents who homeschool are not dedicated, prepared, nor have developed teaching skills, the child's education will suffer for it. Likewise in public educational systems if teachers are not qualified, the environment is not conducive to learning, necessary learning materials are not provided, the students will not receive the level of education they need and deserve.

Do you have to go to college to homeschool your child?
Most states in America don't require parents of homeschoolers to be college educated. The vast majority of homeschooling parents, whether they are college educated or not, give their children a sound education. But there are some parents who neglect their children. To ensure that homeschoolers get a proper education, some states require them to be evaluated annually. Even in states such as Alabama where homeschooling is illegal, many parents are homeschooling their kids through a loophole called the church school option. And some of the parents there are not college educated. Homeschooling laws vary from country to country. Homeschooling is illegal in some countries, such as Germany. In other countries like Malaysia, there are no homeschooling laws at all and homeschooling parents are educating their children in total freedom. So it all depends on the country and state you come from.

Are there any internet links to essays or articles about the dangers or downsides to homeschooling?
I'm not sure if I've ever seen an article on the downsides to homeschooling - there are just too many advantages! A study was completed last year which you may be interested in reading: Perhaps a downside could be burnout by parents, partcularly if they've been homeschooling several children for several years. Good luck! Since you asked, NBC did a "Law and Order - Special Victims Unit" on homeschooling being a cover for child abuse. (Go to nbc.com and search for articles on homeschooling.) However, I think that is a grossly inaccurate portrayal of most homeschooling families. Like the last person said, there are only too many advantages to homeschooling that outweigh any "dangers or disadvantages."
