Kolozens- I'll just call him Kolon from now on- Kolon has less than 1 friend.

1) You go for 6 hours so that is guaranteed that you are recieving a bountiful amount of education.
If the public school system were to be abandoned, then all the people who you know are dumb at school, well, how on earth are they going to do 6 hours of education at home?
You couldn't trust them to try and learn. I couldn't trust myself to try and learn. I'd waste the day away.
But in no way does that mean that I or many people like me are dumb.

2) You seem to claim that all the people in public schools are simply moronic or ridiculous.
There is no way this is true, unless you are just a social outcast and are incapable of getting close to people and making friends. Half of my friends seem silly from a distance. You get close to them and they're doing what all children and teenagers and adults do. They're having a laugh and they're having fun.
It's what we do when we make social ties that help us to work out what to do in social scenarios.
We play around with each other and talk.
We make alliances with friends and rivalries with people we dislike.
But you can't be a rival to everyone. Human's are pack creatures. We don't do lone wolf.

3) How can these people be uneducated when they are going to school and taking in education.
Maybe you just see them having fun.
I used to think like that.
There are complete idiots in my classes who don't seem to try and learn at all.
Doesn't mean they aren't.

4) No school will teach you the exact same thing over and over again.
Yeah, there is revision, it's how you learn things permanently.
But if you were to actually pay attention to lessons, you'd find that the subject of your lessons changes each day.
You're simply a teenager getting bored of learning.
It doesn't take a genius to realise that you're being taught more than one thing.
And by the way, the reason that teaching at a school is in a repetetive style, as in, they go over things and similar ideas come up in different places, is because that is how you learn.
No one reads a book and remembers every single thing and can now quote that book and do it forever.
You relearn and relearn.

You're not a genius.
You're not a greatly intelligent person.
You don't know everything you need to know.
You don't know how the world works.

You are simply a teenager, likely a bit of an outcast, who can't seem to enjoy what he's doing.
So, you claim it's all stuff. When it's not.
If it was all stuff then the world would have fallen to pieces a hundred years ago.

If I were you, I'd wise up, take it like a man and stop complaining about how you want to be your own person, and that homeschooling will give you that.
You don't live on the stage of High School Musical.
You're not going to lose all sense of character by being at school.

One question, are you really from England?

Homeschooling is stuff.

I went to this public "club" where teenagers could gather, play video games, and crap. I met with one guy who was being homeschooled.

He didn't know what algebra was, and he was 16. Yet, he had the highest prestige on Black Ops.

'if this one guy who's homeschooled is dumb, all homeschooled kids must be too!'

Great logic!

Altered, you have to be my ally on this.

8 hours?

I spend like 7 hours in school.



If you're home schooled you (8 times out of 10) grow up socially awkward.

And private school costs a tone more money.

Not really, if you volunteer, or get a job.

Grade 1-9 are dumb and pretty useless. Private, public, or home schooled.

School just seems more like a massive social experiment more than a learning ground.

Yes, we waste our youth "In Schools"

What?

I am failing the understand the relevance of this statement. To mine.

I've tested genius-level on all those high security statewide tests, and all I can say is: Public Schools are filled with bumbling fumbling idiots.

I bond with all my teachers because of how advanced I am. I have discussions with my teachers about music, literature, and politics. Teachers are great. The students? Ha, ha ha ha! They have no idea how privileged they are. I'll admit six hours a day, five days a week, for one hundred eighty days is overworking us a bit. But the fact we are being educated for free is amazing. I feel great to have so much knowledge at my disposal. My cousins are rednecks so I always feel superior to them when I go on vacation. School is fine with me.

I legally have to have 2 hours of Physical Education a week.

My school only got an hour and a half a month. :s

"I dated a teacher in high school, I had game"
"Daniel that was because you were home schooled"


Kolo thanks for making my day.

My Pleasure.

I am happy I go to private school.

i had this friend who went to public school for grades 1-4, then went to public school for grades 5-7

when he got back in the 8th grade, he was pretty strange
