[edit] Homeschooling

The facts presented in the homeschooling section are interesting and bring to light the controversy that seems to exist in the island regarding this subject. I reworded the paragraphs in this section, however, because I believe that the previous statements were advocating a position for homeschooling, and for homeschooling legislation in particular. To be specific, stating that "The lack of public policy [..] has contributed to furthering ignorance and controversy about the practice [...]" claims without proof that (1) "ignorance" exists about homeschooling and (2) this "ignorance" is aggravated by the lack of public pulicy. Furthermore, by not stating what the "ignorance" is about, the sentence may be construed as implying that people who are opposed to homeschooling are somehow ignorant. In any case, the sentence is just too vague. I believe that the slight slant on the issue (perhaps unintentional) detracts from the credibility of the article. I hope that the new wording will present the sentiments of the legislation advocates in a way that is neutral. I added citation requests where citations are missing - please feel free to provide them if available. Thanks for your contributions to this article!
