April 8, 2026
Another former schoolteacher has joined the ranks of homeschool defenders – Daniel Buck, director of the American Enterprise Institute’s Conservative Education Reform Network.
“I’ve taught every grade level from 6 to 12, was an elementary school assistant principal, and attended one of the top-ranked graduate schools of education in the country, and I’m here to tell you quite simply: The haters are wrong,” he writesin a recent commentary for the Institute for Family Studies. “You are indeed smart enough to homeschool your own children.”
