I'm less worried about the violence issue, and more worried about the failings of public schooling built to "save" the least able student.

This, and what they teach. They are teaching children to be more incompetent emotionally, as well as more reactive to their emotions.

If you do choose to homeschool, there are quite a lot of people now who do it, and they connect up for social activities in the neighborhood. It is almost like they are making a school system again...
