Education standards

Listening to a homeschool talk this morning, I realized there are two kinds of homeschoolers:

1. Those who homeschool because they REJECT an objective academic standard of education.
2. Those who homeschool because they accept that standard, and find homeschooling the best MEANS to meeting the standard.

I suppose there could be a mix of the two, which involves allowing for different childrens' talents, abilities, etc.

We lean toward #2 above, while not accepting uncritically the secular academic institutions' standards, accreditations, etc.
