That´s what I have been wondering too.
I am a bit mystified as to why schooling comes up so much in this case and in the Turpin case.
Sometimes it completely takes over the discussions.
Why is that, posters who write about schooling?
Well, in this case, one of the daughters told a teacher that one of her mothers beat her up. The teacher (or someone at the school) called CPS and one of the mothers ended up charged with domestic violence. It seems like this situation caused the parents to start homeschooling the children. Maybe, just maybe, if the kids kept going to school, they would also keep telling teachers if they were being abused. Now, one thing leads to another and people get really passionate discussing the "regular" school vs homeschool issue. Regarding the Turpin case, the older daughter was going to school dirty and smelling badly to the point that her classmates didn't want to be around her and were kind of mean to her, yet, the teacher didn't report anything. So, it's not a for sure thing, some kids are being severely abused at home and do show signs of it at school and nobody notices or if they do notice, nothing gets reported. Some parents do an amazing job homeschooling their kids, I watch thise family on Youtube that homeschools and the kids go on field trips, are engaged in a homeschooling group with other kids and seem to have a great curriculum. I don't know how people get so invested in discussing the issue but I guess it happens with many other issues when some involved in the discussion generalize things and people end up somehow offended (not saying that's the case on this thread though).
