Education through home schooling, an experiment

The rising fees, the astronomical donations, the lack of individual attention, the sky rocketing cost for extra tuitions, the lack of time for extra curricular activities, obesity, the sedentary lifestyle right from the start, etc--all these lead me to question the educational system in our country and where our Gen-X is heading to.
When people come over to your house or if you catch up with people to lounge your weekend with, the most common line you hear is "when we were young". This statement is always seconded by negativity over the present situation of our kids and their education.
Gone are the days that you could tell your kids that you worked your lives off for them because your kids seem to be busier than you.
You start your day by going work and end it in the evening by unwinding with a drink, television or an enjoyable book. On the flip side take a look at your kids they start the day with tuitions (maybe) then school to tuitions and then back home to further homework and studies. Where is the effective time where they could unwind?
When you sit back with regrets of your life a majority never lists your childhood because the majority has had their bit of careless times.
I was reading this interesting article on the net about the education in the United States. Pretty interesting how they always differ to be different. This concept of "Home Schooling" caught my fancy i.e. study from or @home as the name suggests. This kind of education is subject to debate but also to a lot of good where the parents are directly responsible for their children and the interest level in their children. This kind of schooling also puts into curriculum the kids has sufficient amount of mingling with other children and play. Studies have also found that children subject to "Home Schooling" have shown to be more intellectual than the children who attending regular school.
The school dropout rate has been nipped to an extent today however at any given day if you ask a kid "if he/she would be given an option of dropping out (without mentioning the repercussions) or staying in, the answer would always be the latter. This could be because of various reasons from maybe lack of individual attention, lack of expertise to find problems that the kid is suffering from (dyslexia etc) or simply being lost in a crowd from the so called "better in class" so the tendency to relax on their efficiencies. The actual inspiration to this article was because of noted Noble price winner for Economics Mr Amartya Sen on his views on the tuition culture and home work in our country.
Here is a whole new avenue in the educational system, we could be so much a part of our children's lives and guide them towards aspiring much more than they are doing right now. The concept of home tutoring starts off by the parents attending workshops on tutoring the children with the curriculum running parallel in schools; the routine for these kids are as usual to the kids attending regular school. The first period start, the recesses the split periods the breaks etc only that this entire activity would be from home.
When we can say ".......... starts from home" means to say that the fundamentals start from home, likewise even education and being good citizens too. End of the day you know parents will never let their kids go astray or down.
Now in the present with parents warring with other parents on whose kid is better, with the rising number of reality shows for example, we could have a winner with this educational system. I am not saying things are bad at the present juncture however the when change is the only inevitable thing lets join hands to focus on making it better. Hence I am trying to be a drop in the ocean to the better educating of our GenX and start a change in our education system for the better. How many are a part of this to make a change.
