I know of such a case. Home schooling can be good, but I think there needs to be some standard set. How can a barely educated parent give a child an education of sufficiently high standard to fultil their potential? At school, a neglected child has a second chance, if the parents provide no mental stimulation the teachers can to some extent fill that gap. I ask, if a child is persistently bruised in a violent home could the parents claim to be home schooling, so their secret is safe. Do home schooling parents have to notify the authorities they are educating their own child?
