“I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.”
― Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)
“There is no school equal to a decent home and no teacher equal to a virtuous parent.”
“The home is the first and most effective place to learn the lessons of life: truth, honor, virtue, self control, the value of education, honest work, and the purpose and privilege of life. Nothing can take the place of home in rearing and teaching children, and no other success can compensate for failure in the home.”
“Self-education is the only possible education; the rest is mere veneer laid on the surface of a child's nature.”
“The home is the chief school of human virtues.”
― William Ellery Channing

Society of the Sisters, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that 'the fundamental theory of liberty upon which all governments of this Union repose excludes any general power of the state to standardize its children by forcing them to accept instruction from public teachers only. The child is not the creature of the state.'" ~ State Laws
