All people, or groups, may experience problems when raising their children, drug abuse and teen pregnancy are not limited to any group. Since teenagers often make impulsive, rash decisions based on emotion and hormones, a structured home with rules and discipline can help to avoid problems. Giving teenagers free reign to explore their sexuality, or any other thing doesn't seem very responsible.
Most people wouldn't home school their children, they're more than happy to get them out of the house for 8 hours a day. The FC's are more than happy to spend as much time as necessary to raise their children according to their beliefs. I personally don't think this makes for a very well rounded individual. They lead a secluded life, then are thrust into the real world as adults. Once again, they're not my children though.....
How many of you actually have children???
