Tate’s own frustrations with teaching to children within the public school system was perhaps the main reason she opted to homeschool her own children. While a teacher, she felt an underlying pressure to, as she put it, “teach to the test.” She is primarily referring to assessment tests that measure student and school improvement.
Despite Tate’s apprehension with the public school system, she was just as leery with the concept of home education. She even admitted to being somewhat naive in her thoughts on homeschooling, loosely equating it with cults. This belief is rather common for those who are uninformed about home education.
