***Gene, that simply is not a valid argument. Nope, nadda, nein, nit, never! <g>
Surely what they learn is what is around them. If they are surrounded
by disorder and criminality is that not what they would learn?

I understand the history, the motivation, the logic. I can see how***You've just described the average public school. The average public school where teachers break the law with impunity. Where children learn how to bully and those bullied quickly learn that there are no consequences for the bully.
homeschooling and unschooling would be most helpful to many children.
I have strong reservations that it would work in areas where some
children are trying to do good things while surrounded by gangs
pushing them around, taunting them, recruiting them, training them to
be good gang members. It seems to me that urban gangs are in fact a
result of lack of guidance, of extreme unschooling. What these
children learn is how to survive in a criminal atmosphere.
