home schooling

[mytitan]

who on this site is home schooled? i am.

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

i never was but most home shcooled kids i knew were always smart in a few subjects (related to each other), and lacked in other areas, probably because of a parents likeing those areas more...just a note i maybe wrong...

[texan_idiot25]

Totally inept at handling public situations and people. At least the ones at my school.

With the exception of a close friend of mine and her twin. Only two cool home schoolers I've ever met.

Ok guys, I'm not sure what this thread is really getting at but try to keep it clean since someone can take offense easily by certain comments.

Thanks for Cleaning it up!

if this thread turns into a flamewar, anybody that participates gets a 5 pt infraction...respect eachother please.

in my opinion, if the public school system isn't doing their job and private schooling is too costly (typically $5K a year around here) homeschooling seems like a great option, if and only if the parents are willing to commit to it.

public schools only suck in our state,
im at a private school, an all guy school, kinda sucks

[JDMDUDE]

i sometimes wish i could be home school because some kids use to bother me for no reason in gym and some other classes

[firebird999]

i personally like public schools better, mainly because it's more social. i used to know a kid who got home schooled by literally care-free parents (one time they let the kids smash a window on their house, then plugged it up with a couch cushion.). well, he turned into a jerk because he had no one to teach him what's right. i think he's in juvy right now.

[mytitan]

actually i started last year because where i live public schools stink, this thread was to ask a question not put other members down so every body that is please stop flaming, and my parents aren't care free, like the person firebird was talking about, actually they teach the kids ministries at my church. so let all be calm.

I am 23, little past the home school era; but I went to a variety of schools.

From Kindergarten through 7th grade I was in Public school, then for 8th I attended a Christian academy which was realy cool, and for the last three years I attended the nations first city ran charter school. We didnt have a principle for three years and pretty much had free run of the place. I ended up dropping out, along with a good portion of my friends due to mismanagement at the school. Turns out the city used it to harvest funds before tuning the new building into their new city hall and closing the school forever the year after I would have graduated.

Back on topic though, home schoolers are offered only as much education as their instructors (typically parents) are willing to learn themselves which prohibits the student from having as well rounded an education as you would receive from multiple instructors in a formal setting. Both my older sisters and my mother work in our educational system, and one is a specialist, so I have learned a lot about the process since becoming an adult.

Well, it's a good thing this isn't your forum with it's 5 members and you can't give him an infraction.

I think his post was reinstated because it is a metaphorical comparison of you and other's actions as it applies to homeschooling. I think it can also be taken even further into bad parenting. I'll explain.

Homeschooling is essentially seperating children from society at an early age. If you think about it, they have very limited social networking skills because they aren't exposed to the amount of people they would be in public schools. This is really a double headed sword because depending on your family, you may not be exposed to the bad elements. The temptation, the apple of eden and so on; however the ability to determine right from wrong should be enstilled through proper parenting.

Homeschooling also alots for a less efficient education. More often than not a college history professor will not have the greatest arithmatic knowledgebase and vice versa. Keeping that in mind, why do you think that your neo-christian afraid of society parents are the creme de la creme of every subject? Sure in a class of 20 students you will not have the oppurtunity to have as much 1:1 face time with your instructor, but the curriculum provided will be the most efficient at learning what you need to learn.

You also have to take greatly in account the group learning potential. Public schools offer the ability to work as a group seperating tasks and allowing a specialization that will be applied later in life. There really isn't a job out there when you grow up that will have no communication through multiple groups; and if you have sub par communication skills management is a wild dream.

Learning curves can also be taken into comparison. When audited through a group it is a heck of a lot easier to assess whether or not you are meeting the curriculum requirements for growth that will put you on scale. Most parents have megalomaniacal assertions of their children as the clay that will later grow to be what they themselves could not achieve, with this in mind, do you think they will be able to break down when their children are doing well enough?

With that being said, Bondo's statement (as crass as it may sound) is actually fairly astute. He recognizes your lack of social skills, intellegence that is sub-par from the social norm, and inability to adapt to this "society".Hence that you act like someone who is home schooled.

That argument is flawed.

Your associating a symptom with something that isn't the direct cause. A large portion of home schooled children are removed from public schools due to preexisting social situation which could range from the inability to deal with bullies to the extreme such as Aspergers Syndrome.

It's been proven that the only constant difference in personalities between home schooled children and those of the same age who attended public schools is that the later have lower maturity levels and the ones who spend more time around adults are capable of conversing with adults with more confidence (often making interaction with such children awkward for adults not familiar with their schooling). Besides, who are any of us to assume that the child who is home schooled isn't gaining social skills with their peers through extra circular activities such as martial arts, or sports programs (something that is encouraged to parents of home schoolers).

I agree with you.

Bondo is using home schooling like it for dum kids but its not.
Bonodo's post was rude to all kids that are home schooled.

I bet Bondo,TheB1GDude,Surgeon all are home schooled?

I don't have a 5 memebr forum.
I have a forum. not 5 member.

Actually I was public schooled, which is why I can carry a sentence. Why do you have a beef with B1G now? Is he an intimidating person? You are a silly person with a silly forum.

And your argument is flawed because it doesn't take into account parenting. Some parents (titans', fordmans) are taking less responsibility and maintenance in their children's lifes at an early age. Maturity is a reflection of that. You have to give children responsibility while also enstilling the ability to make cognitive decisions.

Your assumption is that when someone is inable to make social skills you should simply withdraw them and the problem is solved. Aside from a cowboy, mountain man, una bomber or hermit, there really aren't many bright futures for someone who prefers constant isolation due to the fact they cannot play well with others.

Many children are distracted by their piers, but you can look at the social reform that parents are suppose to be "friends" to their children rather than authority figures. Without an authority figure, you don't know how to act to an authority figure.

See, look at this statement. Titan is 14, and completely lacks the ability to consistantly write coherent sentences. This would be a flaw of the homeschooled. Look at he and mytitan's forum; for example. It is a funny parody of the popular forum's borrowing parts that they lack because they don't have the learning and thinking skills to make up their own ways. They have truck of the month, parts exchange etc. All of there entities are flagrantly plagarised from the mainstream forums because they do not have the ability to create on their own. Unitelligent parents, spawning and breeding unintelligent children.

DON'T talk about my forum on this forum.

its not about parents.
It doesn't matter if you parents and strict or leanyant

Actually I was educated at a public school in England, after school I went to a local college where I obtained a qualification in computer programming, I then went to university where I obtained a degree in internet technologies, I then 4 years working for a company in London who moved me to the US in 2005 where I have been since..... so since you asked I can confirm that there is no home schooling in my background, as you can see I also have far more life experience than you average person.

Now I've never known anyone who was home schooled so can only go off what I have heard, some home schooled kids are fine, whereas others crash and burn.

Although it is off topic, it is a great self-portrait of you. All of the broken sentences and uninspired motifs.... Like a car wreck. You know it is bad, you know it is sad, but you can't stop looking.

It does matter if your parents are strict or lenient. If they were more strict maybe your spelling wouldn't be so atroscious. Like the way it took you three months to learn to spell entries, even after I edited enteries for you every time. That is a complete lack of learning skills.

[TheB1GDude]

Unfortunately I think its become a common trend in public schooling over the past few years.... IQ's have begun to drop because of all the distractions, so that being said maybe home schooling is the better option and maybe mytitan is in the best learning environment out of all of us, either way there is an evident gap in language between members who left school more than a few years ago and members such as titantaw, fordman who are still in school.

So your saying people who prefer interaction in small groups become terrorists or cowboys; and that only stupid people home school their children. I see you put alot of thought into your stance before committing yourself to it.

Into which of your categories do Leonardo De Vinci, both Wright brothers, Thomas Jefferson and Albert Einstein fit into?

In addition, you claim home schooled children are incapable of forming simple sentences. If this were correct, then how can you explain Hans Christian Andersen and C.S. Lewis?
