Should homeschooling be banned?

[Earth]

Homeschooling should never be banned. It strikes me as silly that everyone is up in arms over fundies homeschooling, as if it represents homeschooling itself. Personally, I don't want the state to be the only avenue towards an education, since parochial school wouldn't be an option if I had children.

Homeschooling should not be banned, but the children must follow the state's program and he must go in a school/school board/ place for that for doing exams at the end of each scholar year. If they don't pass, they redo that year in the school and they finish their schooling in the system.

That just sounds terribly pointless then. If homeschooling is considered an option for parents, then what positive aspects would it have if the curriculum were tailored by the state? Why the need for homeschooling at all? This is not an area I would want the state to get involved in.

And frankly, I don't much care if the parent is a Unarian, or an other fringe believer, I don't believe anyone has the right to dictate what a child should or should not be taught, particularly in their home.

I'd rather not have a child be taught Xenu did this or that, but I can't agree with those who say it's "necessary" that it should be in the hands of the state.
