The besetting sin of homeschoolers is the sin of tuning out criticism—when criticism comes, you get defensive, and you get your back up. So if parents are homeschooling and someone rebukes them, the godly response is to consider it oil on the head, even if the correction is in error. The best thing is to listen to the criticism and bring it before God. Nobody wants to be blown back and forth by whatever people say, but everyone should want to be open to learn. So those parents who are homeschooling, where this applies, lose the defensiveness.
