forget you and your home schooling. = Kids with issues.

I went back to read it again and read "a free newspaper and blog for the homeschool community". So this is obviously biased and is a terrible resource to support this argument, its like having a tobacco company hire the scientists to do research on second hand smoke.

So because it's biased it didn't say what it actually said?

No, whatever it said has no merit and I dont want to waste my time rereading it.

Oh, so everyone with a conviction in what they are stating are biased? Ever think that those are the reasons why the author supports homeschooling?

I don't give a forget about private school or your close friends. I want facts, tell me your curriculum and grade you were homeschooled for. Since you are 15, I can can most likely guess your weren't homeschooled for High School.

You just blew my post by.

That's his strategy, ignore any real answers and just keep pressing on inverted, who is making himself an easy target.

You use the same exact strategy, friend.

Actually, you made yourself an easier target by using nonsense as logic.

Stop being a roostersmuggler, you didn't read this.

I did read it. Philosophical and religious convictions are always influenced by the parent, so that point is kind of null. But the other three are valid. One should be influenced by their intellectual peers if they are to intellectually advance, which is the purpose of school.

Must of missed it, feel free to quote yourself.

I don't take you seriously.

Antithesis?

I found some numbers:

According to the organization behind the standardized test for high school achievement and college admissions, the 11,535 homeschoolers who took the ACT in 2009 scored an average of 22.5. The average score of the total 1.48 million students who took the exam was 21.1.

Not a big difference considering 1,480,000 public schools take it compared to 11,535.

Wow.

Just wow.

Man, if anything, I was the one who was being pressed on.  People kept purposely arguing against straw men, so that I had to explain myself over and over again, and then finally I said something that was contradictory, and you people claim "victory".

Why don't you read my freakin' post and refute me point by point and then you can "claim victory" all you want.

Antithesis?

I mean that the purpose of schooling in general, home or otherwise, is to make people intellectually advance and reach adulthood prepared. Homeschooling with intellectual peers, which are not always the same age, is better for children than being forced to be among kids whose interests vary incredibly.

When people do that though you seem to still be wrong.
