Giles lays out the case against public schools perfectly!

Ah now here we go.

Blogbat survived homeschool and all he got was an education ;)

In my next life I'm coming back as a drunken party-goer with a pregnant teenage girlfriend, completely illiterate and out to lunch on the world around me (beyond who Brittany Spears is) so I can truly be socialized (just like Canada's health care system)!

3 Cheers!

Will there be pictures?!

Oh yeah! My sister homeschools her three, two boys and a girl, ages 12, 9 and 5. In the city where she lives they have a homeschool co-op where the kids can go to get some of their classes, and the cirriculum is totally controlled by the parents. It's the only way to go.

Part of the argument against homeschooling used to be that your kids wouldn't be socialized. I would say, in the light of the spirit of this article, like that's such a bad thing?

[Anti-MSM]

Well, obviously these girls are being deprived. </sarcasm>

[CindyDawg]

I encourage homeschooling but this is a parent problem. The schools aren't responsible for kids partying all night not having public manners and morals. I know many kids that are public schooled that have parents that would not tolerate this.

[Coleus]

Indicative of all the public high schools in Florida??

[MRMEAN]

I don't have kids so I can't offer any a testimonial to home-school programs, but the publisher of Access to Energyhas a facinating home schooling program, developed by his own kids: The Robinson Curriculum.

[mtbopfuyn]

All public schools are bad? Is that sort of like stating all black men have lon... or perhaps all Irishmen are drun... or maybe any of the other hundreds of erroneous stereotypical popular topics.

[wagglebee]

and the cirriculum is totally controlled by the parents. It's the only way to go.

And you obviously went to a public school that didn't teach you how to spell curriculum.

JUST KIDDING!

[The Teen Conservative]

Well, yours truly is homeschooled.

[blogbat]

Only the ones the court-appointed attorney allows ;)

[MikefromOhio]

So this article suggests that the schools should police the teens at new years parties off of school grounds?

Both my brother and I are public school products and I think we both turned out pretty well....

[Ellesu]

His wife Lauralee, who was also a scientist, homeschooled their children until her death in November 1988, when the children were 12, 10, 8, 6, 6, and 16 months. During the past ten years, Dr. Robinson and the children have continued their homeschooling by developing a program entirely based upon self-teaching.

Oh goodness, Bless them both.

[RhoTheta]

Homeschool ping.

[blogbat]

Why does the NEA call what happens in Pubby Schools socialization when all they do is grunt and break things?

[Graybeard58]

The schools aren't responsible for kids partying all night not having public manners and morals.

A point easily missed in this story. The first thing I thought of when I read this was that the parents of these kids that allow them to stay out all night and party are responsible, not the school.

That said, I will also say that I have very little regard for public schools. My daughter is a high school teacher and I have learned a lot from her. She is a dedicated teacher but her views and skills are stiffled by government laws and regulations.

I have read much the same from other members here who are also public school teachers.

[Theresawithanh]

WHOOPS! That'll teach me to start spellchecking, huh?

I did go to publik skools, but this was back when dirt was still new, and schools were very, very different!
