As someone who was also homeschooled in Georgia (but was in the city of Atlanta), I don't really understand how most parents seem to believe that educating their children isn't their sole responsibility.

Sure, their kids' teachers are supposed to expose them to knowledge but the parents are ultimately responsible.

Perhaps one of the most important lessons I learned (other than how to teach myself) was the idea of personal responsibility.

That probably messed me up for life since now I'm fairly libertarian and also kept going to school until I got my PhD, but that's a different story.
