The public School System

These individuals with their comments are products of the public school system: All I really want to say to them is SHUT UP, YOUR STUPID. Except I'm not really a mean person......but I can be...I sorta have a temper :-D

13. No kid should be home schooled. They end up socially retarded relationally clueless. Which is far worse than not knowing the material in the books.

YOU ARE SOCIALLY RETARDED AND CLUELESS. The reason? If you had an educated bone in your body, you would know that parents who home-school attend MANY functions outside of the home. Home-schooled kids are more active in the community than Public Schooled kids. Why? Because they have MORE time to do it. They aren't taught to the lowest common denominator in school, but they can work at their own pace. So they have time for this stuff. They don't spend an hour in travel time to get to school. If you dont believe me, look at my flicker account and see how often we are out doing public service and leave our house. www.flickr.com/photos/kellyschaos

15. No, the education of a child is too important to let some moron just do on their own. Not that homeschooling doesn't work, but certification is necessary for some regulation. The real issue should be what it takes to become certified, not whether or not you need to be. http://tinyurl.com/6jb7l6 - has more on the appeals

You just called me a MORON. You dont even know me, so how can you honestly say that I, because I homeschool, am a Moron. You are obviously a Jerk. That was an educated answer. I read your comments and came to the conclusion because you call people you know nothing about Morons.

25. Although every parent should have the right to make decisions in their child's education, we - as a society - have to live with these children. The thought of a suburbran housewife, with no college education, downloading worksheets off the internet to teach their high schooler physics or Algebra 2, well. . . that's just scary.

You assume that homeschool Parents = Wife only. Dads are just as involved. And just because I am a suburban housewife, with some college doesn't mean I'm ignorant. You imply that in your snide comment. You are obviously uneducated about how we homeschool. We do NOT download worksheets but attend a THREE day seminar and pick curriculum like a REAL school would. We have REAL curriculum with REAL text books. WOW what a concept! We are motivated to teach our kids, not by a paycheck, but because we WANT them to learn. WOW! Now isn't that a concept too!!!



**** SIDE NOTE! I have nothing against the public school system really. Its just annoying when individuals profess that theres only one way a child can learn and that HAS to be in a school room environment. People should really do their research and see that learning is done best when its in exploration and un-structured. Some kids thrive in structured environments, mine are bored in them. They dont do lectures. They are hands on, so for us, this is where they belong. =D
