  • I home school my 2 sons aged 4 & 10 for many reasons & we love it! I love the fact they can have a one to one learning base & i feel its the most natural thing in the world!! :)

  • The awkward kiss O_O

  • I attended Clark County Schools in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the mid - late 70's. This is why I decided NOT to have children. It was a life altering experience, that I never got over! I saw teacher's degrade and belittle students, use severe corporal punishment, and express too much of their personal opinions that had nothing to do with the classroom.

    There are online schools now, and kids are still exposed to the outside world through activities like scouting and sports. PUBLIC SCHOOL? NO WAY!

  • I wish i was homeschooled. Most of the kids in public education sucks but my parents are too busy with work so they chose public schooling :(.

  • @Hperman09 Im homeschooled except my parents dont do it its on the computer with a real teacher and other kids so maybe you could ask around and maybe you have that near you. I live in canada though.

  • Experiencing violence, peer pressure, screaming teachers, and bullying is not experiencing life. That's just called high school, and that has never helped anyone with life. We all just suffered through it, one way or the other, until we graduated so we could move on and finally enter the real world.

  • My children are home schooled and are exposed to the world around them now more then they ever were stuck inside their school building. My children have been to Europe, different US states, and the islands. They know what real life looks like, and socialize with people of various ages and cultures. I think it is the children in public schools who do not get enough exposure to their world.

  • A couple of years and those balls will drop !!!

  • here's a short explanation of what's wrong with school

  • I go to one of "the best American public schools" according to Newsweekly, and I have to teach myself anything if I actually want to learn. If I ever have kids, they're being home schooled.

  • @logoRH Which is funny, because most companies that hire homeschooled students are usually better at working and learning.

  • Check out my video if you get a moment:

    CIA, FBI Pedophile Protected Network.Tax Funded.

  • dont get me wrong but if someone is homeschooled well that person wont really know what really life is.. and i think because of that the he/she might suffer when they actually grow up and go to a bigger world.. or when they are actually doing a job where they meet all sorts of different people... :)

  • @dilshan1994 you don't know many that are homeschooled huh?

  • Well im in 7th grade and i want to be homeschooled because all the niggers in my school, and teachers favorite them

  • @XxMARINExXPVTxX go say that to those niggers and c what happen.

  • bollocks that they are above, maybe average but they will never be great. I don't believe homeschooling will produce the latest genius that will work towards the next noble prize. Because homeschooling lacks the equipment, expertise, support and social learning of a real school. Homeschooling also focuses on the myth of creation when kids could be better of making their own choice based on a real education. This intervention should be made illegal!

  • @ProneSyndrome you mean a private school. public schools are rubbish.

  • I guess so. Thank you for asking.

  • Heh heh penis

  • most homeschoolers teach their kids creationism...........i was taught it.

  • @ilovetheview47 I was taught both and encouraged to think critically.

  • @shamgar001 did u get the same with 2+2=5?

    and i bet you dont understand or accept evolution

  • @ilovetheview47 Which is better, to think critically and be wrong, or to blindly accept what you're told and just happen to be right?

  • @shamgar001 the first one, only religious ppl blindly believe what they are told.

  • @ilovetheview47 Then you haven't met enough religious/nonreligious people. Do you really think that every single person who accepts evolution has actually thought it through and made up their own mind about it?

    The important thing it not to teach students what to think, but rather how to think. I know homeschoolers who were taught either way; public schools almost always do the former.

  • @shamgar001 ppl accept evolution just like they accept gravity

  • @ilovetheview47 What do you mean when you say "gravity"? It's a fact that object with mass attract each other, which is a phenomenon we call "gravity".

    However, there are multiple *theories* about why this happens, and any good course which covers this will explain competing theories and how the facts support or contradict them.

  • @shamgar001 you DO teach kids what to think, you teach them facts. i dont see the christians saying to teach non-gravity too

  • @ilovetheview47 The correct answer to that is that evolution is a theory, not a fact.

    However, 99% of the creationists who use that argument don't understand the epistemological meaning of those terms, but I do, so please don't leap to judgement.

    Evolution is not a empirical fact; it is a rational theory which explains facts. The way it ought to be taught it by teaching the facts, then showing how theories explain them, and ways that the facts are support or contradict the theory.

  • @shamgar001 it is both, theory and fact. what are you talking about.

    all i said was teaching creationism is like teaching anti-gravity

  • US schools suck because of lower standards year after year for stupid lazy retarded minorities. You never see standards being lowered because of white kids, and you never see minorities home school their kids because they want higher standards. Minorities ruin schools and nations.

  • @MrAppleseed88 Thats not true in some countries I would argue that the educational system is waaay higher. Examples-its not unusual for Japanese, Chinese and Korean foreign exchange students to often become one of the best in their class in top quality private schools here in the states. Get your bigoted beliefs out of your ass, it's not a question of race or being a minority - its in the individual and how motivated they are to succeed and learn.

  • @ShaolinSurfer777 I would not think otherwise. We have lowered our school standards so much to accommodate retarded weak lazy minorities for so long our kids are as lame and weak as any inner city scum you can find.  If truth is racism, what use is a lie?

  • News of the of 11 year old Amanda being force out of home schooling seems

    to violate the very essence of why America was founded. Some of the

    reasons parents home school is to not have their kids exposed to the anti

    American, anti Christian, anti morality rhetoric which the left forces

    upon us . As long as Amanda can demonstrate that she is learning as

    well as the average child of her age, the courts have no right to

    intercede.

  • home school is a great opportunity to turn your children into awkward people alienated from the real world with strong creationist beliefs because of all the indoctrination.... so basically hillbilly retards

  • @Dann123100 Is that why your sentences start with lower case letters? And how about the fact that you don't end your senetences with puncuations? Seems to me that public school has done wonders for you!!! Bravo! Keep making children.

  • @kimboots1 haha the grammar nazi strikes again. This is a comment not some other kind of important document that relies fully on proper spelling and grammar to secure it's integrity, but of coarse you don't know the difference do you? introvert. Actually I went to an Anglican private school but came out an Atheist because even there we were shown both sides of the argument, not to mention with an unbiased agenda. Not some pristine image of heaven next to an ape emerging from a pile of goo

  • @Dann123100

    I was religiously abused. It is wrong period. I'm sorry that happened to you. But it doesn't mean that people that choice to homeschool their children are "hillbilly retards". There are many curriculums out there that don't have anything to do with religion.

  • @kimboots1 but isn't that also going with a bias? why not give the children a choice instead of forcing views down their throats. don't get me wrong I of all people would love to destroy religion, but I realize that would only create a world that is the extremes on the other side of the spectrum when it comes to acceptance of lies

  • @kimboots1 I'm new to homeschooling and I have chosen because of money to go with an online public school. It's free of any religious beliefs, as far as I know. But I teach my children the Christian faith. However, I don't beat them over the head with it. In the end no matter what you do to a child, as an adult that child will have to make their own decisions. No matter what some "do gooders" think, in the end religion is up to each individual.

  • @Dann123100

    I was religiously abused. It is wrong period. I’m sorry that happened to you. But it doesn't mean that people that choose to home school their children are "hillbilly retards". There are many curriculums out there that don't have anything to do with religion.

  • american school is gay

  • This is my mom's account i just use it, I'm home schooled and i have a 4.0, and i'm 10+1.

  • I want to be home schooled cause im sick of stupid people and teachers they yell at the kids who try the hardest and praize the kids who cheat and suck up

  • Not all homeschoolers are "religious" or homeschool strictly due to religious beliefs and really,'indoctrinated?"...come on......yeah lets send our kids to public school where they can sit a little room all day with 30 other people the same age..being taught by someone who doesnt give a shi_about them and get indoctrinated into the drug users society or the "goth society" or what ever the latest fad is.....Homeschoolers get a bad rap and its usually from undereducated,public school drop outs!

  • Benefits of Home Schooling???

    You can ensure your kids will be fully indoctrinated into the religious cult of your choice!

  • @FUCKyourGODmyth Im free from religion and I homeschool my boys . I dont want them to grow up to be sheep , like the rest of the world . Actually , I unschool . Its a little different . It has nothing to do with religion for our family and everything to do with them liveing there life lead by passion and not the drive to get into the best collage and make the most money .

  • @AngelBones84 living "there" life should be "their" there is a place not a group of people.

  • @AngelBones84 Collage is a pretty picture made by cutting and pasting other pictures together. It's not a place of higher learning.

  • @AngelBones84 Collage is a pretty picture made by cutting and pasting other pictures together. It's not a place of higher learning. And you want your children to live "THEIR" life not "THERE" there is a place and not a person.

  • @kimboots1 feel better ??

  • This is the 1 step program to socially detach your child

  • maybe if the schools in the us were not terrible people would actually want to go.

    alot of problems are that

    1.they teachers yell and curse

    2.riding school buses and having to deal with the druggies in the back,the busdriver always yelling,and stopping to give out White Slips.

    3.the stupid students who do nothing but jerk around and make the teacher have to stop the lesson to give out referrals.

    4.most restroom stalls dont have doors.

    5.the ones with doors don't have working locks.

    6.the fights

  • good luck, parents, teaching your kid what he or she wants to learn. wait until all of your kids begin to want to take physics and chemistry.... you won't now sht compared to teachers at school...

  • @hottdog2007 There are plenty of Virtual Academies that can handle this.

  • @bballforlife92 A lot of home schooled kids are in sports or other groups. Most of the ones I know are in soccer and hockey, a couple in dance

  • 0:00 to 0:15 wtf?...i see they got homeschooled too....

  • Germany has the Right Idea about Homeschooling

  • @ImperatorZor Jaaaa exactly. The "right" idea... from the oppresive far "right" Nazi regime! Their Idea about homeschooling is a disgrace to the nation. Their limit on educational freedom is indeed "Unrecht".

  • I enjoyed this tremendously. It's good to run into people that love homeschooling as much as I do.

  • I think god is liar. I'm going to send my kids to school.

  • U people are all wrong about Homeschooling kids being "social outcast".

    Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato were both homeschooled and look at were they are now...I would love to try it, becuz then i wont hve to get up at 5:00 every freaking morning and drive 30 minutes to get to school wen i can just wake up and go in my living room to take my classes.....

  • @NaruSelDemiFan bla..thats why i go to school...to avoid being a singer. HAHAHA

  • @poposisa oh wow lol

  • @NaruSelDemiFan you do realize they were home schooled because their parents had their music careers in mind.. home schooled kids are outcast they dont know how to interact with others as well; its only natural. I know a family that homeschools and their great people and the kids are nice but they really have trouble fitting in. real school teach kids more than abc's and math it teaches them norms in society.

  • im american i love to be home school is there any internet home schooling so i dont have to waste alot of paper

  • Why did the man kiss the woman , its so distributing

  • i know right!

  • @MrCircle360 I agree... that kiss in the beginning was extremely weird...

  • @MommyReporter lol ya it was so irrelevant to the subject.

  • @MrCircle360 yeah dude that was really unneccesary....

  • Comment removed

  • @CarmenMCS lmao. 

  • @CarmenMCS "as long as people IS free to own a gun"? yup, you have homeschool writing all over you.

  • @FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7

    You've got public school written all over you. Do you know how to start and end sentences? Or do you know how to quote?

  • @kimboots1 because i didn't use caps? it's the internet.

  • It makes you look uneducated.

  • @kimboots1 btw i was homeschooled from middle school on.

  • Also, nice spelling, professor. I'm sure folks are doing incredibly well in that department.

  • Gee, I hope your kids do really well in home school, so they can get into home college, so they can get a home job and make lots of home money!

  • @tvol319 are you talking about Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Nikola Tesla, Vernon Smith, Temple Grandin, Satoshi Tajiri, Tim Burton... ETC ETC ETC. Well it´s not a bad idea being at home then!

  • @CarmenMCS Tesla wasn't homeschooled. He went to Higher Real Gymnasium in Croatia. Edison's childhood was before the heyday of public schooling. Bill Gates's parents were loaded beyond belief and completely funded his founding of Microsoft. Tajiri-sama went to public school, so did Tim Burton. Man, that homeschooling is really paying off for you, isn't it?

  • nigger

  • I can't stand the way this guy talks. 

  • lol this guys a loser

  • HOME SCHOOLING is awesome!!!!! I am home schooled I have been my entire life it is the best, and like he said we are a few grades above most kids =D

  • Lmfao this vid is kinda cheesy on the first place he kisses his wife and stares at the camera lol

  • This video is so unprofessional lol

  • guys you can socialize with other kids i used to be home schooled and i maybe again i dont like public because where im from we think the education is very poor and the kids a my school sometimes act rich and rude and teachers dont really care but with home school you can be taught the CORRECT stuff and you do meet other kids there are homeschool meet up days where kids get to talk and play together and at my school now they dont even let us socialize! i would rather be home schooled!

  • when kids are homeschooled they end up being extremely sheltered to the real world due to the lack of socialing. when they go in to the real world they're extremely hard to talk to because they've been too busy staying at home, rather than being with kids their own age. sure you can learn more, but i'd rather be an average regular student than a homeschooled social-outcast who has nothing to boast of except for a GPA.

  • @TitsMcAssh0le that is really a broad generalization of homeschoolers! I never ever thought I'd homeschool my kids, but we do it and it's great. My kids are WAY more socialized than me and most of my friends were in public school. They have friends over a few times every week, we go out, and they're in sports so I'm not sure how many homeschoolers you really know, although I'm sure there are some that are too sheltered :)

  • @TheBarby82 i just don't agree with homeschooling. I believe kids need to be around kids. Not just for socialization, but when they go into the working class, they're around a bunch of people, and if they were to go to a public school, they would already be used to being around others.

  • @TitsMcAssh0le so it´s better for kids to be around a bunch of people who give a shit about them, with a teacher who won´t pay personal attention to them, in a class with only people of their same age, before letting them be with different kinds of people of all ages? Interesting pointless point in my opinion, how does that work at all.

  • @CarmenMCS exactly, because that's the real world.

  • @TitsMcAssh0le no, that´s not the real world. That´s the world we have created in the last 50 years, and that´s why our children and adults are simple-minded and conformist. Compared to all the genius of the 19th century, how realistic is this world and how good is for then to be in stables (schools)

    Of course no one in Finland, Norway, Denmark etc would ever think of home-schooling their kids, but´s it´s because their kids actually develop decently in their schools, not like in USA, Spain, etc

  • @CarmenMCS Ah yes, the genius of the 19th century, when there were no antibiotics, child labor laws didn't exist, women were domestic pets, black people were slaves and homosexuality was punished by death. And of course the rampant filth, disease and poverty.

    Simple-minded? Look at the scientific and social advances we've made in the last 50 years. We've put men on the moon and enabled someone to instantly communicate with someone across the world just for starters.

  • @tvol319 and yet, we can´t give our children a decent education after 5 decades. Maybe we should care a little more about social issues instead of sending people to the moon.

  • @tvol319 I am not from USA, so I am not talking ONLY about USA. You guys should take a look around you once in a while. We are not always talking about you all the time. Of course one have to take USA into consideration, but also the rest of America and other countries, which you don´t do.

  • @CarmenMCS Considering most developed nations have a damn good public school system (Japan, China, developed European countries, Canada), the only nation with a public school system in question remaining was the USA, unless you're going to talk about public schooling in undeveloped nations. Of course if you argue from that perspective you need to quit the internet forever.

  • @tvol319 I am European and a teacher in so called developed countries and what you said is not true. But anyway, aren´t you guys living in the "the land of freedom and opportunity"? Why can you have freedom to legally own weapons but not freedom to decide whether or not to homeschool? It´s just ANOTHER OPTION, it´s not like homechooling supporters are gonna set fire on schools and abolish them, they just want to give their kids a better education than that they think schools can offer them.

  • @CarmenMCS  I totally agree..some of these comments about homeschooled kids being "brainwashed" makes no sense to me. I'm sure there are families like that..but so far I haven't met any! If anything the homeschooled kids I know get MORE socialization and more real life skills than public schooled kids usually do...

  • @TheBarby82 how? how does a kid that lives at home all day with his mom and dad experience more social activities then a kid who interacts 100+ peers a day, academically home schooling has an argument to make more sense.

  • @wolf0088 believe me..... if the parents work at it the homeschooled kids can be a lot more socialized..I went to public school all my life and actually, being stuck in rooms all day w/ people you're own age is not a very good example of socialization!! my kids play sports, are on leagues, plus part of a homeschooling group..it's amazing to see them excel at being social w/ all kind of different people, not just their bff's, which is what I think public schools lack :)

  • @TheBarby82 thats great and im sure not all kids that are home schooled lack all social lesson but some things like peer pressure and getting in an argument with people their own age are lacking development.

  • @CarmenMCS A teacher in developed countries? You're using a plural noun, teach, so you must mean more than one. Oh dear me, I had no idea you could teach in different nations and still have time to argue on the internet. And FYI, people in any European nation can own a gun. It's not unique to the US. I have issues with homeschooling because it's currently not a good option. The current way homeschooling "teachers" are evaluated is a joke, as are the assessments of the "students."

  • @CarmenMCS I believe anyone who isn't a legitimate, certified educator (i.e. trained as an educator and in possession of a teaching certificate) is unfit to teach children. If all homeschooling "teachers" were properly trained and certified, then hey, they could go for it in my eyes. But if someone who couldn't get a job at a school is teaching children, then I consider it to be a major problem.

  • @tvol319 oh dear, of course they are certified educators. You can´t legally homeschool kids without the proper procedures and qualifications. What´s more, in our case -in Europe I mean- since the new European grades exist in university, Teachers Training implies that you know how to educate all kind of kids in all kind of situations, including homeschooling, and implies that you not only know the didactics blabla but also the laws and policies regarding such matters.

  • @CarmenMCS Really, now. EVERY home schooling teacher has an education degree and has undergone the full amount of testing required to teach at a public school, complete with a certification? Spain is the only country that does that, so my guess is you're referring to Spain when you say "Europe," since homeschooling is illegal or virtually nonexistant in most European countries. The other homeschool-allowing nations just need annual tests.

  • @tvol319 well yes? to be a teacher you have to, like, go to university and, like, finish your studies to, like, get a certification that says "hey, now you are a teacher " and after the basic grade you have to, like, undergo specialization and all? Ok now, jokes aside, we don´t disagree so much as I think you think. I support Homeschooling of quality, but I support free state schools of quality, too (I teach in a school, obviously) I support freedom to choose between them for many reasons.

  • @CarmenMCS I'm from England and get me say I F****** hate it and I LOVE America and i want to move there but i have to say it is not the land of freedom sorry but its not i do love America tho :)

  • @tvol319 Canada's only slightly better than Us and getting worse by the year

  • @CarmenMCS And again, completely controlling the curriculum of a child is a terrible idea. For someone to truly learn about the world, they need the opportunity to actually see it and learn from people who see things differently, which is a major benefit of public schooling. Public schooling in developed nations has produced wonderful results and some of the most brilliant minds in the world. Home schooling has produced a lot of closed ones.

  • @tvol319 so actually seeying the real world is being at class 8 hours doing nothing... right. We live in a totally different world it seems, but from my personal experience I never was a good student until I left your beloved system... however, it´s not like you know any of us, anyway, you clearly base your opinion in personal bias. Oh and the reason why those genius I mention are "closed ones" it´s because they are asperger, not because they are homeschooled lol

  • @CarmenMCS There's that homeschooling doing wonders for your English. Something tells me the only reason you're a "good student" is the complete and utter lack of a decent grading system homeschooling provides beyond an annual test. Maybe if you, oh, I don't know, paid attention in school, you'd know that most people spend that 8 hours learning. Also, none of the people you mentioned have Aspergers. Congratulations, you fail completely.

  • @tvol319 Oh dear lord lol. 1) I´m worse at English than I am at other languages becase I am deaf, do you need me to explain the reason? I hope you don´t or I´ll seriously think you are some utter incult that is talking without knowing anything 2) Don´t make a fool of yourself: If you do just some research, you´ll soon find that all of them do are Asperger 3) I´ve always been an honour student, always had the best marks at school, High S, Bachiller and University, but always hated the system.

  • @CarmenMCS Being deaf should have no bearing on spelling ability at all. Words are words whether you're deaf, hearing-impaired or fully capable of hearing. Many of the people you've labeled with AS have never been diagnosed (Bill Gates) or had a completely different disorder (Tesla had OCD). Also, here's a fun little point: none of that has anything to do with homeschooling. Whether or not they have or don't have AS is irrelevant to the discussion.

  • @CarmenMCS "from my personal experience I never was a good student until I left your beloved system... " You posted this yesterday. Saying you're a good student and top of the class means you were lying then or you are lying now. You also said you were homeschooled.  Then you just said you went through normal schooling up through university. Make up your mind.

  • @tvol319 Homeschooling is illegal in my country (except for Catalonia) just as ownership of guns is. The only reason why I had to Homeschool for some time was because of my problems with my ears, surgery and such. Even during that time I always had the same subjects and examinations as everyone, because that´s what education laws exist for. I attended class, for examination, with everyone else. Homeschooling doesn´t imply that you do whatever you want. And yet again, it´s just another option.

  • @CarmenMCS Actually, gun ownership isn't illegal in Spain. If you mean handgun ownership, that's a horse of a different color. Spain does allow homeschooling as well, provided teachers are certified and trained. If homeschooling is done like that and has no ties to religion or political ideology, it's fine by me. But the kind of homeschooling most countries allow is, IMO, not a substitute for a real school.

  • @tvol319 Dude, like it or not, facts are facts. Homeschooling is a WORKING system. Studies have shown that Homeschool kids are MORE socialized then public school kids, have on average, better grades on the PSSA's (which we CAN'T cheat on because they are closed booked and supervised by PSSA officials, NOT homeschool parents), and go on to lead happier adult lives. Im not saying homeschooling works for everybody, but I am saying that public schooling, sure as hell, dont work that well either.

  • @bohumut It has nothing to do with cheating, you tool. It has more to do with standardized testing being a piss-poor ruler for academic ability. Can you cite these studies? Let's see some links. And while you say "public schooling, sure as hell, don't work that well (sic)," You'll find that public schooling across the world is generally a great system with trained teachers.

  • @TitsMcAssh0le but that really applies more to kids that aren't around other kids, doesn't it? I know mine are..

  • @TitsMcAssh0le that applies to children that aren't around other kids though..mine are. Also, I was raised in public schools, and I am persuaded that being in a classroom all day is one of the least effective ways to prepare kids for living in the real world..living in the real world daily is better!

  • @TheBarby82 How are they living in the real world if they're staying at home and not interacting with people outside of their immediate families? There's no benefit to it unless you consider the ability to completely control what your kid learns (brainwashing them) a benefit. In a public or even private school system, you have multiple teachers with multiple ways of teaching, meaning kids get different sides of issues and can form their own opinions.

  • Home schooling is o.k. but seriously you can't hide from the world forever. if your throwing up from being nervous then maybe you need to get help rather than making the situation worse by hiding. Public school is free and if you raise your kid right then they won't give in to negative temptations. I want my kid to see the world and society and be social so they know why they are going to school. So it is kind of a cycle in my eyes. Of course people can do what they want that is just my opinion.

  • Are you joking? Public education will always cover more than homeschooling, atleast where I come from, unless you live in the ghetto. We have options to take AP classes, college classes, everything, it's just way more advanced.

  • homeschooling is for fags learn how to socialize with other kids!

  • And on the fifth day God created the Remington bolt action rifle to defend off the Dinosaurs and the Homosexuals.......AMEN. Sorry can't agree with you, I have a sister who was home schooled and now has no original thought of her own, she is the Clone of ideas and beliefs of my mother. That is so sad to send you child out in the world without the necessary skills to handle the real world.

  • wow wat a dork..........who the fuck wants to be fucking homeschooled??

  • @djjasonlong The public school system is a disaster. I can tell by reading your comments moron! It's "what" not wat you dilweed!

  • @gnarlyharley1 see maybe if you wernt a sheltered homeschool parent student then you would understand that "wat" is a common slag term for what

  • hey dude i just started home-schooling this year in 7th grade i started becuse of health problems but i was in public school for k-6 and i was always 4 grades ahead of my piers so you cant just say its the home-schoolers who are smart and uhhhh!

  • I'm sorry but home school seems darn boring staying in the house all day long waking up and staying in the house all day cause once my bets friend she's home school and she had 2 hrs of school right and she went to the park and this man came up to her and then he's like aren't you supposed to be in school? She's like i'm home school i only have 2 hrs of school then he was likegirl home school is boring you should go to a public school or private school and hs is to short

  • Homeschooling is terrible. I always look back on high school and the great memories that steamed from it. I think it is so sad to know that they're are children out there who are missing out on the companionship and lasting friendships that linger long after graduation. No matter how much you try to give your child the same opportunities as one would in a normal school, its just not the same. Ive known quite a few home schooled children that had later gone into the real world and had become

  • completely out of control, getting tattoos, doing drugs and having sex all over the place. They were never introduced to these things gradually, and didn't have the friends to learn of these things with at their own level. So once they got into the real world, they had no idea how to deal with these situations and had become completely out of control. I highly recommend that no body does this to their child. I respect your opinion, but I just see it as one of the most terrible ways you could

  • raise your child. Taking away experiences that they will never be able to have again in their lives is just not the right thing to do, and is quite selfish. Again, I do not mean to be confrontational.

  • You know what? I want to get home schooled and I am in 9th grade!!!!!!!!!!! can I still od that and not go to school ?

  • @wondergirlsy Oh noes you is in need of a valid exc000se. Seriously. You need a valid excuse. I'm not sure how it works but you have to go through the system. Just ask your parents and then they will proceed to work their way to help you. Another scenario would be your parents scolding you for wanting to be homeschooled, or maybe praised.

  • @wondergirlsy I was in a class that was pretty much homeschooling. Had to go to school to get the work and if you needed help you stayed...I can't remember what the program was called but I got into it due to "behavioural" problems

  • I know most of you have probably been public schooled before and think that it's the only way to go in search of social interaction. While true for most people, it's not for everyone. I cannot speak for every Home Schooled person out there but I -myself- see to it that I hang out with a lot of my friends across town and work out on a daily basis. Most of you have made very good points, some people -are- socially awkward, others are kept inside their little 'innocence' bubble, but not I.

  • advantages of state schooling:

    Develop social skills

    develop independence

    develop character

    make friends

    learn the theory of evolution

    overall: become a normal person, not just some christian fag who sits there listening to only their fellow retards talking about how well their doing fucking with their kids heads.

    cant wait until those kids get to go to home college, then home university and get a home degree and earn lots of home money while getting skull fucked by their local priest.

  • Poor you !!!

    Not only you are conditioned to "think" as an employee hehehe but lack of so much intelligence. First of all when you THINK as being an OWNER of a hi tech company you dont need college nor university: examples: Steve Jobs, bill gates, etc

  • @davysotopty GREAT response. I going to start homeschooling my kids here really soon and it is because we have our own business. School schedules are very good for those who just have jobs but as owners it's not the same. Also in terms of academics we want our kids to be given the kind knowledge to run a company not work in customer service.

  • Comment removed

  • I dont really know but in my opinion I think home schooling would lead to more anti social tendencies.

  • @Core404 obviously you don't pay attention to the awkward kids in school that seem to have a great hate, not only towards themselves, but towards everyone else because they're different and stuck in a little crowded room for 1/3 of their day with people they don't like and that don't like them and get teased relentlessly so commit suicide or shoot up their schools..

  • you guys can hate home schooling all you want but i quite enjoy getting up doing 1 hour of work then going out and spending all of my money that i have because i have time to work a full time job...my friend makes 1000 a month working at wednys and since hes at home he dosnt pay bills or anything so he has 250 dollars every week to blow on whatever he wants.....hahaha you guys can go to school ill opt for the mountains of cash

  • Great. The scientists in my country are dying of hunger. Let them get some of those well payed american jobs. Teach your children creation in school please. I beg you. Teach them a 6000 year old geology. Please. If you can, teach them some alchemy as well.

  • Its okay to not like, but bann it? Fuck off!

  • Tell that to Tim Tebow

  • Home schooling, mostly done by Christians.

    Benefit: controlled indoctrination. Brainwashing them such that they can't live their mind free from guilt and preconditions for the rest of their life.

    It's a form of child abuse.

  • dude ur like 12 plz learn b4 talking

  • wow dude thats so unfair to say homeschoolers are all that crap!i mean they can be in as many sports as they want and they can a take a couple classes at a public school and about the social thing homeschooled kids are accualy more social cus they dont get to do it all the time like we do and how would you know thats how homeschoolers are if you've never been homeschooled?

  • Homeschoolers are with people of varying ages, backgrounds and experiences on a regular basis while in public school, kids are in a room full of people their own age and told to sit down and be quiet. How then, can a homeschooler be called "not socialized"? Just because homeschoolers are able to socialize at a level that most public schoolers won't be able to socialize at until after college, if ever, does not make them the one with socialization issues!

  • maybe if u went to college you could time up your subtitles.

  • Homeschooling would only be good if you were in a shitty school district and if you had a lot of money. But frankly, why would you be in a shitty school district if you had a lot of money? Plus all the kids I know who are being homeschooled are extremely/somewhat socially awkward

  • Plus the mother/father's teaching skills has to surpass expectations too

  • Very true.

  • I don't know about SoCal, but personally, I got homeschooled cause all the rest of the high schools in my area fucking sucked, the homeschool program we went with was a much better alternative.

    And no, home schooling does not fuck kids up, WHEN YOU DO IT RIGHT. I went with a program where they organized all sorts of events for the students, made plenty of friends, even had a prom and what not. Strict education too, none of that "Un-schooling" bullshit.

    Too bad it's mostly used like a cult.

  • oooh i go there basicly you go meet with him once a month and see your grades and yea and he gives you a plan for that month but i go once a week and he gives me a plan for that week its preety cool we also have field trips

  • every time i see a home school kid he has zero social skills and is just really smart in one section of academics and retarded in the rest

  • I think I would do anything in my power to get the hell out of my house. If I had to spend that much time with my family I would most likely go out and do activities of risk. I mean I love my family, but if my life was spend indoors with minimal normal social interaction. I can't generalize a whole group of kids but I do not envy you.
