Maybe you should talk to an old social worker or few, about the huge number of kids who are both abused, and attending public schools. "Teachers are mandated reporters" is nothing resembling a magical fix, even in school districts where the teachers are not already stretched to burn-out by all the other demands placed upon them.

Social workers being aware of abused kids at schools seems exactly the thing we want. Most abusers are parents or relatives. Hiding the problem in home schooling and then saying it doesn't exist because social workers never hear about it seems the utterly wrong viewpoint.


The question is are they doing anything about it? If the abuse doesn't stop, it doesn't matter if you are attending public school private school or home school
