So you may or may not have seen that "Homeschooled vs. Public schooled" thread in off topic. It basically is a thread where MillCzarr listed four types of home schooled and public schooled people, albeit very blunt, also listing the pro and cons of them. Things were going fine with little to know arguments until Beachbum111111 started posting misinformed claims about how "Homeschooling makes you a social outcast" and so on. Basic stuff.
So it started out by him claiming that "public schools are better" without any sort of proof backing him up.
Public schools are better
I responded with
you're so misinformed lol
lack of social interaction (homeschooling) > stupidity (public schooling)
And he threw out the old "public schooling makes you not know how to obey" card.
If you don't learn how to socialize/obey your boss your forgeted
So I countered:
I know how to socialize. I said a lack of social interaction, I'm not a social outcast or socially awkward or anything.
And his response:
Learning subjects in school is half of what you are supposed to learn. Socializing with the other students is the other half. A lot of jobs out there require you to be social
So! Let's get this straight. Being around 500 other students which you are thrust apon to find a diamond in the rough half your day in which you are also learning from teachers who are appointed by the state, eating terrible lunches and learning as fast as the slowest kid in your class is better than learning at your own pace by your parents which you have a nice relationship with, and being able to do school on your own schedule? That's really great logic there. On to the next quote.
I was home schooled until grade 3. It didn't help a bit when I went to public school.
And being homeschooled when you were eight would help you how? You are still learning the basics before you are around 10, at which time you start learning the more advanced things.
Again. Social skills are required for life.
Social skills are required for life, yes. But I'm still not sure how being given 500 students to befriend gives you more social skills than pursuing them.
Didn't really know how to talk to people. However public school helped that.
This is too personal to make a claim of. Most homeschooled students have a youth group or other activity and that helps them talk to people.
It's easier because you see them every day
How exactly did you get the idea that homeschooled children don't see their friends every day?
I have. Your doing it wrong
Tell me again how football, baseball, or basketball help you develop social skills, life skills aside.
Your not even defending yourself your just insulting me. Which isn't helping your case
I think you're the one calling homeschooled children stupid.
Stop caring like everyone else
I counter with:
If you speak this language every day and say you have gotten an education you damn well should care about it.
Next quote:
At least I am defending myself without raging.
"Showing arguments that are completely valid but are against your arguments" isn't exactly raging.
You do realize in the real world no one criticizes grammar because they would get there ass kicked
This is nullifying your "you can't get a job if you're home schooled" argument. Most employers won't hire those who cannot take criticism.
Forgot :P
And you're saying you forgot a post you made not thirty minutes before. This is clearly a lie.
Now, I'm not saying that homeschooling doesn't have it's downsides, but this is quite clearly the weakest argument I've seen in awhile. Discuss him.
