   There are all types …
   There are all types of homeschool families just like there are all types of public school families. Homeschoolers are not any more weird than anyone else, and IMO, they generally have better values and less social problems over all. I could go on, but I strongly believe that homeschooling is BY FAR the best education option for nearly every family. Let’s raise our own kids and quit giving them over to the government!

   Er… I didn’t say …
   Er… I didn’t say anything about Darwin – and actually he did. A lot of crops etc that are grown these days have been developed through the understanding of how evolution works – which without Darwin would not have been possible. Stop being so ignorant!

   I am homeshcooled.
   I believe that the public school system fails at teaching kids!

   I am way smarter than a lot of my friends.
   Most of them do not remember simple math and english skills.

   A homeschooled student can be taught whatever they want and not the garbage that public school teaches.

   It’s really …
   It’s really wonderful to see how many people don’t understand the issue at hand. They talk about how the homeschoolers don’t understand evolution, religion, etc. Off topic: this is complete rubish. Homeschoolers dominate the spelling bee, and other academic contests. The real topic is about what the role of government should be. Should they be allowed to force your children into their system? In a free country, everbody should have the right to live their lives without the intervention of Gov.

   The government is …
   The government is very lucky that time has shown Charles Murray and Richard Herrnstein correct, i.e. that genes are more important than environment. That’s the only reason many brilliant students still come from the public schools, because public education has deteriorated. Almost nobody intelligent goes into teaching. They go to these useless teacher colleges which are so dumbed down it’s incredible. Everybody should have the right to keep their children away from the beuracracy.

    You know, the same …
    You know, the same happened here in GA. We got the lottery and it was only about 2 years later that I started hearing about how we needed more money for schools. My husband and I didn’t have kids at the time. We kept asking ourselves “What are they doing with the money?” Because we know the money is there…the lottery is big business. The word “racket” certainly fits!

    I’ll tell you when …
    I’ll tell you when I turned against the school district and figured it for the racket it is. In Oregon they passed the state lottery out the assumption that profits would be going to the schools. It turned out that it that very little went to the schools and then they wanted to raise taxes specifically for schools. I realized then it was a racket and they actually keep kids dumb for an excuse to extract more money from the public.

    From the report – “We tried to bring “20/20″ cameras into New York City schools to see for ourselves and show you what’s going on in the schools, but officials wouldn’t allow it. ”

    Hum…wonder why!

    I watched that when it first came out, it’s hard to watch. I know that if many parents had any clue what goes on in schools, they would be shocked. The reason that parents don’t know is because school systems and teachers have special protection from lawsuits. Not only that, the media rarely reports on the reality of what’s actually going on. They hide every little incident that can be hidden. The ones that can’t be hidden are toned down and are hardly mentioned.

    You have nothing …
    You have nothing intellectual or helpful to say so you just resort to name calling and hatefulness? How pathetic!

    Sounds like you’re the one with some sort of complex. Get a life!

    GOOGLE up “stupid in America” 20/20 special it confirms what I’ve suspected about public schools for quite awhile. That their too over bloated and inefficient. Pay attention to the Belgium school that’s what I’d like to see happen in America. Screw the bureaucracy.

    abitcrunchy is obviously an egomaniac with an inferiority complex: eternally laboring under the delusion that the world will simply fall apart if he/she doesn’t post an opinion umpteen times. What a bore.

    “mass education is …
    “mass education is *only* possible with gov’t intervention – that’s the way every modern, industrialized state does it in order to keep an innovative, high-tech economy working.”

    Well that explains it then.

    We don’t have …
    We don’t have professors in our government schools. Our government can barely afford to pay teachers so the pay is well under what a college professor would earn. When people choose to be teachers, their college education is a lot about how to control the classroom, how to maintain the political correctness and how to deal with crazy parents. Homeschool parents are only teaching what they themselves learned in K-12. If you can write and read then you can teach from a school textbook!

    Congrats to you, …
    Congrats to you, then. As I’ve said, technically I’m not opposed to homeschooling – assuming those who provided it have at least a BA. That said, mass education is *only* possible with gov’t intervention – that’s the way every modern, industrialized state does it in order to keep an innovative, high-tech economy working. Look at EU member states, especially Denmark, the Netherlands & Finland, which, according to internat’l tests, provide the *best* primary & secondary education in the world.

    Why in the world do …
    Why in the world do people think that homeschoolers never leave the house???

    And what does “reality” have to do with being restricted to a room of same-age students for 6 hours a day or more?

22. by abitcrunchy, on November 27 2009 @ 6:09 pm

    

    And that is …
    And that is different than a public school kid who rapes a 13 year old girl – on the school campus?

    Our state does and …
    Our state does and always has required the homeschoolers to take the same dumbed down tests that government school children take. And guess what? They surpass the scores of kids in private and public schools almost every single time! Today’s government education is creating a society of uneducated adults. I used to teach Remedial Math to 1st year college students so I am well aware of how high school graduates are seriously lacking in Math skills, it’s down right pathetic!!!

    You are so ignorant …
    You are so ignorant to assume that homeschool means never leaving the house!

    If the government …
    If the government can manage Band, Track and Football – just what makes you think that a group of homeschoolers can not??? Our group has all that plus proms, dances and graduation ceremonies. In addition we have many resources that are not available to the public schools, like a swim team and clubs such as Astrology and Chess and other Science clubs. Some activities require equipment that often gets destroyed by public school kids so the ps kids don’t get the same learning opportunities.
