I've never been home schooled and I think normal school loving sucks... Several people who have been home schooled have also gone to public schools as well.

Quit stating bullstuff that has been disproved over multiple pages of posts.

Yes. Because anything you guys say OR me for that mater is fact.

Get over your self.

Also, time and time again. Kids who are home schooled till college. Don't know as many social skills.
So when they go out in the world. They aren't as prepared as others.

It has been researched and recorded.

No you!

All those things are fine


Edit: looking back at the post, you ought to be brought out to the real world if you think romance is bad. I feel sorry for you in a way, your parents must have put you in a bubble.

[Lord Elavier]

I hate school. All the kids in the classes are idiots and laugh when we watch a movie and someone says "ass." Or they go OMG BAD WORD.

Agreed. Especially in 5th grade when your used to it all already. By the way, what grade are you in heed?

Get your facts straight before you start bashing on a much, much more advanced and stable form of education, please.

Hypocrite <3

Duckmeister. Do us all a favor. And stop typing with your ego.

Lol.  So you want people going out into the world, knowing nothing about it?  Go away.  Then again, seeing the new 6th graders here, it's the same thing here. 

[Jsk2003]

Do you know what it's like to be told that your answer doesn't count because your answer wasn't the politically charged (or simply incorrect) answer that's in "the book"?

Do you realize how many kids will never reach their full potential because any form of actual opinion is treated as a wrong answer?  You are not taught to think in public schools, you are taught to obey.

I have no idea what you're talking about. If I have a different answer and I know I'm right and they're like "lol ur wrong", I'll speak up and tell them why my answer is correct.

Agreed. Especially in 5th grade when your used to it all already. By the way, what grade are you in heed?

More like what grade are you in? "Potty talk" "Romance" "Drucks" "Mean people" "Kids swearing", do you happen to be really young or have parents that put you in a bubble? Seriously like lolwtf.

Anyway, I would never go into homeschooling for the purpose that homeschooling doesn't have choir which I love right now. Plus all the people there, I've had some great teachers(Loved all but one teacher last year as freshman).

Duckmeister. Do us all a favor. And stop typing with your ego.

Maybe you could try reading my post.  I'll put it here for you:

ITT: Pandan, who once again refuses to believe that anyone who has a different opinion than him could actually be knowledgeable.


Let's look at how the "anti-homeschool people" are viewing the issue:

Oh wait, they're not viewing the issue, they're viewing the straw man as it's portrayed by the media!  WOOO!

I myself have seen my share of the completely socially inept homeschooler who can memorize his times tables but can't look an adult in the eye.

He's not the norm.


I've been in public school, private school, and homeschool, and frankly, homeschool was the most profitable in social interaction and learning.  I know what you are thinking, "what did he say social interaction?", yeah I did say social interaction.  I didn't stay cooped up in the house doing freakin' one-page worksheets.  I went on a ton of field trips, made a ton of real friends (not just irritating bratty spoiled kids you are forced to deal with in regular school), found some bandmates, and played a couple gigs, all while being a homeschooler!

On top of that, I was able to learn at my own pace (which, by the time I started homeschooling was about 5 years above what I would be studying), and was able to focus more on history, philosophy, writing, and music than I would in public school.

I go to quite a few meet-ups and conventions, and 80% of homeschooling kids I meet are not socially or academically inept.


Frankly, the only "socialization" I got in public and private school was having to deal with a bunch of spoiled morons who I was forced to be in "groups" with on my projects.  Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to have some idiotic brat screw up his easier end of the project, and you get a low grade because of his screw up?  And then you get an even lower grade because you "didn't work well with others"?

Do you have any idea how bitter I am at the public education system mostly because it robbed me of precious time I could've spent actually learning instead of dealing with idiots for teachers and brats for "peers"?  Do you have any idea what it's like having teacher after teacher kick the crap out of your independence because the education system is more about brainwashing than it is about education?  Do you know what it's like to be told that your answer doesn't count because your answer wasn't the politically charged (or simply incorrect) answer that's in "the book"?

Do you realize how many kids will never reach their full potential because any form of actual opinion is treated as a wrong answer?  You are not taught to think in public schools, you are taught to obey.

You idiots who look at the media's caricature of homeschooling and think it's so bad, you are not thinking for yourself.  You got told in school that the government can take care of your every freakin' need, and now you think you are being so cool because you get to pick on the kids who actually want to grow up and make a difference.

And to those of you who say this:

What the heck?  Colleges are actually more willing to accept homeschoolers as they know they won't have to put up with the crap they usually have to.  Just from the fact that on average homeschoolers are more academically advanced means they have a much higher chance of getting into a college.  You've got to be freakin' kidding me.


Get your facts straight before you start bashing on a much, much more advanced and stable form of education, please.

Refute me point by point please.  Maybe then you'll gain some credibility.

Also, time and time again. Kids who are home schooled till college. Don't know as many social skills.
So when they go out in the world. They aren't as prepared as others.

It has been researched and recorded.

Haha, research is not your experience with that one kid in the back of the classroom.

The real research shows that homeschooled kids do better in a public environment and in most cases fare better in the real world.

[Snackbar]

The negatives, and positives of home schooling are far more specific to the situation than in public schools. In order for home schooled students to succeed as they have in the studies you mention (if you have a link to them, it would be much appreciated, as I'd enjoy reading them over), the schooling needs to be done properly. In most cases, the child is educated properly, but, as with everything, there is the occasional exception.

The major benefit that public schooling has over home schooling is that public schools offer experience with people who aren't like you, both culturally and in regards to their ability. Admittedly, you seemed to find it offensive that you were forced to work with people you considered inferior to you, but it's a valuable skill to learn. Even after you're done with your education, you're still going to end up working in a group with people who will slack off. Everyone brings something different to a group, and a public school education helps you to understand and work with that.

The other major benefit of a public school education? It's the only place you can get the International Baccalaureate  Diploma, and it's the only place you can feasibly take an AP class.

Okay, my experiences with homeschooling.

Well, one day, my school announced a new lunch and break schedule. This disrupted my go-home-fo'-lunch schedule. (Yeah, lots of schedules.)  This put my parents over the edge, with the goddamn indoctrination classes and politics in the classroom stuff.  The next year, I started homeschooling. My day would consist of a bike ride to the school and more for phys ed. Then recess. (socializing at the school.) then, back home for math, then english, followed by lunch, then science and reading. I would finish at about 2:00 and have the rest of the day off.

As you saw earlier, I had all the socializing that I used to get. (which, at my school, wasn't much.) And, I found myself breezing through the next year, which was in public school.

When I was homeschooled, I picked up playing the Bass Guitar, and the next year, I learned how much the Canadian schools love Barack Hussein Obama.

Really, overall, I liked homeschool, and I liked public school. Overall, I'm kind of indifferent in the subject, because I don't know anyone else who was homeschooled, personally, of course.

So, In The great philosopher Forest Gump's Words, That's all I have to say, about that.
