i really liked this video but i had absolutely no idea people disliked home schooled kids. whenever i tell someone im home schooled they normally react like. :O "your so lucky"
I'm thirteen, and I'm homeschooled. I live in California, which you all know is one jacked-up place. Where I live, you go to Middle school (or junior high) in 7th grade. The first week I was pushed out into the street at the bus stop and was hit by a car. those kids kept tormenting me the rest of the year. Halfway through that school year, one of my friends switched to a charter school. I am now going to this school because PUBLIC SCHOOL IS H*LL. I loved this video.
I love being homeschooled, and I hate it when people say "Well do you actually HAVE friends?" "What qualifications has you Mum got?" "Wouldn't you rather go to school? And have lots of friends?" I don't ask them questions about their education. I want them to accept me for who I am, a homeschooler, and not question me about it.
The government does not want you to home school your children because they will not then be indoctrinated into the New World Order. Look up agenda 21, research the history of the deliberate dumbing down of America. Discover the truth about the UN United Nations. Form your own thoughts and opinions based on what you find and then decide if home schooling YOUR child is so terrible.

Groovy, homeschool your kids, it's none of my business. But don't tell me to treat you or your kids as 'normal' when you belong to a counter-culture that consists of only around 2% of the population.
Odd = out of the norm
Homeschool = out of the norm
Homeschooling is odd. If that's what you do then at least accept it for what it is. If you want to be treated as normal, then behave normally.
The technical aspects of this video are really well done. Great segues. Great job.
Like so many home school videos though, this is very defensive and bitter. Once it got to complaining about being called a prodigy or saint it seemed to be that no question or comment is acceptable.
Many questions are totally reasonable concerns about home schooling. Just like there are totally reasonable concerns about public school. Neither is perfect.
@Peace9A Because we're tired of being unjustly accused of being the social enemy when in reality it is the public school. We are tired of being mocked for being homeschooled (I am constantly made fun of) and of people telling us we are strange. We are sick of hearing how we are child-abusers, how we have too large of families, and how we have zero chance of success in life. Perhaps we shouldn't be so bitter, but it's hardly something we can help anymore.
Public school is not "the social enemy". It allowed most people to be educated - a huge societal step forward! Many can't afford the expense and stay-at-home parent for home school. So I strongly disagree with that line.
You should not be mocked for home school itself. That is wrong.
Sadly any choice where you aren't conforming with society may have this unfair extra cost. Intolerance hurts both ways.
The smug anger just repels, and is all over these videos.
@Peace9A Public school IS the social enemy. Kids in public school have zero social skills, sub-zero manners, no values, and often are anti-government and pro-communism. Don't deny me, I may be a homeschooler but I know people who stopped sending their kids to public school for those reasons. Obviously you are a public school kid, so shut up and go away. You are free to make your own video about public school which insults homeschoolers if you so wish.
I'm homeschooled and I get treated like crap at a CHRISTian youth group in my town for 2 reasons 1 I'm a hard workin not afraid to get dirty or hurt country girl and 2 because I'm homeschooled. I was to learn more about God ( I do believe in God) there but if you get treat poorly by the leaders it's not Godly now is it?
Really want to live in a communist state where you had to believe what you were told to believe at the possible expense of your life? Freedom is a good thing. It's why people came in hordes to this land to get away from the dictatorship of the Church of England. And just so you know, Darwin denounced all that "scientific" bunk he was peddling before he died, but you don't hear about that.
Have our children for the bulk of the day and are paid to teach them. Add to that that the average cost of schooling a child for one academic year in a gms is over $16,000. The most expensive private schools don't come ANywhere near that figure. And the government wants MORE. What business could survive if they produced horrible results at an exorbitant cost? And as far as creationism goes, so what if we teach our children to believe in God? You are free to believe what you believe. Would you r
Unlike anything that exists in real life. Children in gms spend the bulk of their day imprisoned without even the right to tend to their own bodily functions wo permission, they spend time getting ready for, in transit to and from, to come home & do 2 to 4 more hours of work. Essentially, there is no family time because the gms eats it all up. No time for a child to be a child. Then when children aren't learning, teachers blame the parents, irregardless of the fact they are the ones who have o
@chamberwindow Actually, most children who are homeschooled perform 5 to 10 years ahead of their government monopoly school peers. Parents can tailor learning to each child's need. In gms, all children are required to learn exactly the same way. Bells tell children to start learning now or stop learning now to go learn what they are told to learn by some invisible gov bureaucrat. Teachers dont even have much authority over what they teach. Children are age segregated away from the community unl
Another thing.. whether or not "some" of the parents choosing homeschooling are legitimately trying to enrich their children, some are going to teach them creationism and other nonsense creating a subpopulation of ignoramuses. If the cost of preventing some parents from brainwashing their brood is that some others may not homeschool, really I cannot see another alternative besides at least mandating strict curriculum so that America does not fall behind non-homeschooling nations like Japan.
I went to public and private school and I made it to graduate school so there must be something worthwhile about the whole prospect. My one complaint about this video is that there is no mention about how the mother (presumably, but could be father) must remain out of the workplace in order for this system to work. Explain how lower income families with little education between the two parents are going to reign in their children each day and teach them about the Gilded Age or trigonometry.
@chamberwindow The costs of homeschooling kids seems to be a dirty little secret. I hate some of these homeschooling parents talking as if parents who send their kids to school are lazy ingrates. Some people just can't afford it, or they just aren't cut out to teach. It's not fair. My mother was a single mother for years and didn't have the time or money to homeschool me.
love the list! can I use these? I'm thinking of printing it up on cards, so I can simply pass them on to the detractors without wasting any valuable time on them.
Hello, I was homeschooled and while I did get a kick out of some of your comments; I don't believe that was the best way to go about expressing your opinion. Generally people have discovered just how normal I am through conversation and are usually surprised to find that I was homeschooled(or during the period of time when I was in school, they were surprised to find that I was "normal". While there are some weirdos out there, that fact I do not disagree with.)
Love the one about religious assumptions! WE'RE ATHEISTS!~ freaks people out hahah. My 14 yr old loves being home schooled. Has even asked me if someday I might help her teach her own children at home. Oh.. and I LIKE and love my teen, and she LIKES me back. Imagine that.
Oops, forgot. Geart job on the video. More children should be homeschooled. Mgiht cut down on the public shooled suicide rate. YOu never hear about homeschoolers commiting suicide because of bullying.
One thing I have learned is, EVERYTHING! If you have forgotten a subject, you can learn it and then teach it to your child. As you teach them, you are just further burning it in your head as well. That is how I got through med school. I would sit my 7 year old down and teach im what I learned that day. As I taught, he asked questions. I would have to answer those qhuestions and make sure they were right. This helped me ace it all! He is 9 now and has learned the periodic table song by john leher
OH MAN I was laughing my butt off on every single point! I was homeschooled for some years in my childhood and it was shocking how terrible we were treated back then.....
ya now what makes me sick? how public schools are viewed in such a bad light!! geez i mean ll you ever hear about "public school is HELL" oh yeah guys in *GASP* SKINNY JEANS and people in RELATIONSHIPS *FAINT* in homeschoolers defense not all of them are like that i personally dont like it at all but thatz just me.
i really like this. I was homeschooled and my fiance was public schooled. He wont budge on letting me homeschool our kids, becuase he thinks they will be lonely and wont learn how to get alone with people they dont like, like public school will teach them how to. He has no clue how many close friends i still have all of these years. And how many different things i learned, like signing and french. Life skills, how to cook, clean and do the bills, things he cant do very well.
@Azrayella Wait. How is he your fiance and he doesn't know these things about you?
In three months of doing nothing but talking to my husband on the phone, we learned a LOT about each other. Our values and desires and what we required for parenting closely met up. We've made compromises of course, but not at that level. Education is a very strong and important issue.
Large differences in values is what leads to a great number of divorces. That's how my first marriage ended.
Defensive, much? Truth be told, the majority of homeschoolers I know have only one thing in common - king-sized chips on their shoulders.
Clearly, the public schools are usually mediocre at best, and the law is clear that parents have the right to homeschool their kids. Fine. Get over yourselves and get on with it. Who's stopping you?
I shared this on my facebook profile, and then four of my friends copied it to their profiles, and then another person said to my friend that he was reposting it, too... that's a good sign of a good video, haha! O=)
Have you ever heard of public school or private school student ever claim that they can't wait to grow up and have children so they can send them to school? Contrast this with home schooled children who regularly say they can't wait to get happily married, have children and enjoy schooling them at home. Says a lot doesn't it! Why would you want to have kids to send them somewhere you didn't like to go yourself as a child? Food for thought.

@happyfishwash Homeschooling isn't for everyone, you know. I don't think WareWulf1408 was trying to say anything bad about public or private school, but was instead trying to get people to realize that HOMESCHOOLERS SHOULD NOT BE STEREOTYPED! And for the record, I've been homeschooled my whole life, have a ton of friends, went to many dances, and know how to socialize. I personally love it. :)
Oh my, that is the funniest homeschool video I've ever seen! XD
So unbelievably true! People don't seem to think when they ask those questions... glad someone finally pointed out how absurd they are! I'm homeschooled, and I'm definitely sharing! ^_^
Incredibly awesome video. I know plenty of homeschoolers who turned out very well. I also know plenty who went to public school and had to walk through metal detectors every day (since so many kids will carry guns to school), and feared for their lives every day, and had friends shot to death in school. If they call that socializing, then forget it. I went to private school. By the way, I never went to my prom. I didn't miss a thing.
It was a cool lil video for me until the "we all hate you", the skulls and the shut up. If you took that out...pretty clever in a sarcastic way. I dig sarcastic humor just without necessarily a bitter bite to it. Ya always catch more flies with honey than vinegar :->
Lol. Most of the things you got angry about are the things I most laugh at public schoolers for. If public schoolers weren't so predictable with their questions, what would we laugh at? Parrots?
Do you teach your children to whine and complain about every little thing that people in the world do? Apparently, you don't realize that at some point you and, yes, even your kids will have to deal with people they don't like. The world is full of idiots and part of life is DEALING WITH THEM.
Stop whining and take your kids to a football game or something. Or is that too "violent" for your kids to see?
Grow up and face reality. The world DOES exist, even if you shield your family from it

Wow, this is absolutely hilarious! I must say, though, I'm somewhat intimidated by the thought that I'll be on the receiving end of all this crap! We've just started home-edding our two daughters and so far-no disapproving mothers :)
Yes, it made me smile, and it also made me cry. Awesome video! Gonna go get a Rosie the Riveter poster for our school room/office because, yes, we can do it! :-D
oh, this makes me feel so much better that someone is willing to stand up for homeschooling. this is my eighth year in being homeschooled and im finally convinced that my mom is doing it for my own good.
@Maddigurl12 same here--this is my eighth year being homeschooled too, and I know what you mean. I used to hate it, but now I love it. You should look up "Homeschoolers vs. Homeschooled". The video at the top is great =)
Great job on the video. Having raised two children homeschooled from kindergarten to college I can attest this video really hits the mark! I think much of the fear of homeschooling is rooted in insecurities parents have about the public school system not only for quality education but also due to the social malaise and mediocrity that infects it and leaves so many kids emotionally traumatized and/or wrecked, and frankly, bored. To Obama and his socialist NEA (union) buddies--don't tread here
I gave a hard print of this to my mother. After Ive had decades of marriage and 4 kids, she STILL asks questions 4 and 5, always about ONE family she met, and has to tell me the SAME STORIES, like a broken record or a scratched CD. Yet, she claims she tells everybody she meets what a wonderful job I've done with my children. ARRRRRRRRGGGGG.
People need to respect each other's parenting decisions, whether we agree with them or not. Public school families shouldn't be sterotyping homeschool families by saying their children lack social skills, while homeschool families shouldn't be stereotyping public school families by saying that their child isn't receiving a good education. I think the insults and the ignorant stereotypes go both ways. Just do what is best for your family.
@amyven Being a homeschooler, I know a lot of homeschoolers and I have never heard anyone denigrate public schooled children. We do, however, criticize public schools...which is the reason our kids aren't in them. The public schools DESERVE to be criticized - not the kids. We are taxpayers and if something we pay for isn't working, we'll say so.
@miazagora I've taken heat for being in an inner city public school. Some people like to paint us are sex-crazed morons who can't even read or do basic math. Or they go for our parents and make it look like they're lazy for not homeschooling us. It's not fair. My mother worked hard and didn't have the time to homeschool me or my brother.
@Rosebunse Most homeschooling parents are aware of those situations, and we do feel for you. I have a suggestion for the government. How about instead of pooring money into a system that on average does not work, you downsize the schools to just those who want it and start issuing stipends to parents who want to educate their children at home but can't afford to. The former faculty can monitor it. Society would be amazed at the downturn of crime and upturn of society-contributing citizens.
@selenityhime But there are some parents who shouldn't homeschool their kids. If you make it too easy, then you'll have it where parents just keep their kids at home and don't teach them anything useful. They'll do it just for the money. Heck, it would probably become just like welfare, where you have some people who do use it effectively, but then you have people who abuse the system and hurt their kids in the process.
@amyven The fact is for the past hundred years the government schools have been incrementally dumbed down to the Prussian Education System. They have taken the 7 Liberal Arts out of education, and no matter how much money you sink in the government school system, you will never produce bright, intelligent, students that are ready to go to collage without taking remedial education in college. That is why we see today colleges actively recruiting home schooled students!
@MegaCalvinHobbes You know, it does. Even if the degree isn't in teaching, any homeschool parent should have some kind of higher education, even if you can only afford Community College. They shouldn't just freeze right after high school. I know what you mean--my mom had a business degree and some stuff in accounting , and it really does help.
Definitely a wonderful video. I've been homeschooled since first grade and will be in my senior year this fall. When my sister went to college, they were all kinda shocked to see someone who had a good attitude, wanted to learn, and got good grades. I'm not saying all homeschoolers are like that, but most of the ones I know are and I know a lot of homeschoolers. It turns out, getting into college isn't that hard for us. Colleges WANT us! Don't be afraid to say you're homeschooled. Be proud!!!!!
This is WONDERFUL. I am very anti-public school because of my own personal experiences with bullying, riding the school bus, being a latch-key kid and not really retaining anything they taught me.
i was home schooled whenmy mom lost her job but she got a new one and i had to switch to public school which im not happy about and the school was rated an F so i had to leave it and switch to another and its just as bad! but i might get to be home schooled again and i diddnt realy have problems being home schooled i wasnt there that long but this did make me smile and cry cause i miss home school so much great job! 5 stars!
So according to the comments, homeschooling makes you a smart nonconformist (although im pretty sure you don't know the meaning of nonconformity) whereas public schools make you retarded/conformist/cattle. Thank you for telling me that im a retarded/conformist/cattle as well as a worthless pos since I went to public school instead of being homeschool. Why not rag on a persons religion for being different than your religion, since religion is normally not the childs choice but the parents choice.
@nowhereguy45 In what part is it implied that homeschooling equals smart and nonconformist, while PS equals retarded cattle? It neither promoted homeschooling nor discouraged public schooling. The video did not "rag" on anyone. It simply highlighted some of the annoying comments that homeschooling parents sometimes endure.
@reggieboy04 You need to understand the context of my comment better. You should reread what I wrote and you will (hopefully) see that I was directing my comment toward certain comments made on this video that attacked public school and while saying homeschool was sacrosanct. The comment was not directed at the video itself.
Homeschooled through 12th grade, and I have a 3.6 at a federal service academy. I also have a friend who is extremely opposed to homeschooling - I think that I could introduce him to a thousand homeschool success stories and it wouldn't make a difference.
Public school just isn't for some people. Homeschooling just isn't for some people. It all depends on who you are, because the world is a diverse cross-section of people of all races, creeds, religions, regions, sexual orientations, genders, profiles, backgrounds, occupations and more. Public schooling isn't really how I learn about the world around me, so I'm unschooled (though I have a long history of textbook-reading). For public school kids, I guess homeschooling/unschooling isn't their way.
I was Homeschooled and hated every minute of it i felt miserable all the time ya we would go out but the people we would meet were not even near my own age. And my parents never really listened to how i felt bout they said oh its better for you. Frankly I would have walked into a roadway with moving cars if i had to relive my childhood i live in a Country area with not so many neighbors. So one thing i have to say is atleast Ask your child if they like homeschool every now and then and listen.
I love this!!!! This is exactly how i feel as a homeschool kid! And heres another one to add: Don't asume that homeschoolers won't go to college won't have any friends and will be the lowest in our college classes. Because it's exactly the opposite!!!!
I went to public school for first & second grade and hated it--I was always bored, I hated being around kids who misbehaved constantly, and I got sick a lot. I was homeschooled until I finished high school (at 16) and now am enrolled in college. I'm at the top of my class and I have plenty of friends--with a huge variety of ages and backgrounds--that I can interact with because I was raised to be capable of having intelligent conversation with adults. For some, homeschooling is the best option.
@thefirstpurple i was homeschooled for half of 3rd grade and i loved it but i had to leave (stil dont know why) but i had to hopefuly ill be able to get back into it this year! i was such an outcast because everyone was mean and dumb and i ended up having to move to another school it was good but still got bullied alot and now im sitting on my laptop summer break and (this is the day i figure out if im homeschooled or not) i cant wait!
Living in a sort of none safe environment from a low age is also good.
You'll get used to the unfair shit that is going on in life, you will be stronger and you will know how to deal with stressful situations. Yes, even bullies have their role.
Homeschooling, it might be more relaxing and would not let you die from boredom and it will spare you from the useless bullcrap they teach you in public schools. It has it's + and - like everything.
@opres1 Living in a not-so-safe environment from a young age is never good. What a load of nonsense. There's no evidence to back up what you say about it teaching kids how to deal with stressful situations. Young kids in stressful situations generally develop all kinds of physical and psychological manifestations of stress. Older kids in stressful situations might turn to drugs or alcohol, if their environment makes these things readily available.
I think I may try the, "you're right, you couldn't" the next time I hear, "I could never home school my kids!" Wonder what the response would be? Kidding... Eyes are watching, and what kind of example would THAT be :-) Thanks for video...it did put a smile on our faces!
i have to say good work because i use to go to public school till the 7th grade and the school i went to teachers got away with what they wanted plus we were limited on time in home school the pressure is off and im learning a lot more and you dont have to go to school to make friends i go places shcool is for learning social events are for friends
Keep it simple. Is coercion necessary for growth and learning? It either is or it isn't. If you think it is, you need a good reason to think that. If it's not, then what are we doing to people in these buildings called school?
sorry about this... when u r reading this dont stop or something bad will happen! my name is summer i am 15 years old i have blonde hair ,many scars no nose or ears.. i am dead. if u dont copy this just like from the ring, copy n post this on 5 more sites.. or.. i will appear one dark quiet night when ur not expecting it by your bed with a knife and kill u. this is no joke something good will happen to u if you post this on 5 more pages comments
when i have kids i want them home schooled but not by me i could get them to the 3rd or 4th grade then im lost. being dyslexic my self i would want my kids to have fighting chance in this world. i would need help. but ontill that day i give you my kudos!!!
My husband is dyslexic and I am too, though to a lesser degree. So is our daughter. There are dyslexic teachers in public school too. We use the Thompson's Structured Language program for teaching dyslexics to read and The Language Tune - Up Kit for auditory learning. Public schools in our state do not test for nor teach to the needs of dyslexic students. Our child is gifted. In school she was treated as a failure and we were forced to drug her, as if literacy comes in a pill. You can do this.
When I was a kid I would have LOVED to have been homeschooled. I can't recall the number of times I came home in tears. Thank goodness I have the common sense to homeschool my own kids. My only regret is that I didn't do my homeschool research sooner.
Did you ever think it might be OUR choice not be herded around like cattle the way the rest of the 'normal' world is in their schooling enviroments? Oh yes, when I say OUR, I mean the kids. I have never known a homescholer that desired to be sent to public or private school. Did you ever think that perhaps we feel uninhibited and free to learn the way thats best for us, rather than what a teacher wants to shove down our throat?
my name's david. i was homeschooled 1-10th grade, and hated it from the moment i learned that my parents weren't right about everything (even though they think they are...) which would be around 7th grade. i hated it. i HATED it. everything about being homeschooled was awful for me. and yes, i was in a group. no, it didn't help. (maybe the fact that my 9th grade history teacher, who was a homeschool mom, called obama the antichrist had something to do with that.)
I have to say, as a homeschooled man, who is homeschooling his children, that was really good. It's great to know there are other angry parents out there.
I heartlly agree with the last two statements, though I am not homeschooled, I am definitely considering it as an option for my (as yet unborn) children. Particularly since I plan to go into a line of work (writing books/poems) that would make such an arrangement convenient.
Great points. To address ACmetalfaceDC, don't assume because you met one introverted homeschooler that they are all like that--quite the contrary! In fact, in my 13 years of public school, I recall MANY a disfunctioning child, often due to the "feudal system" that kids create within the school (e.g. jocks, princesses, brainiacs, etc.). The teasing, the labeling, the social threats, and MUCH more... My h.s. daughter's p.s. friend always tells her, "It's not fair! You have more friends than me!"
They do get to socialize but not as much and things life self defense relationships and politics are foreign to them( a homeschooled kid came to my school a few months agoand you can totally tell) im saying you can get an extremely good education homeschooling but it is extremely hard for them to interact properly with public school and even private school kids
hmm interesting thing to say i was homeschooled and went to public schooled and in my civics class they knew nothing about politics...and they had 2 previous course they had to take about government and stuff. in fact many homeschoolers know alot about politics and know how to defend their opinion just from the fact they have serious discussions with adults and also just from the fact 1 homeschooler came to ur school don't assume we are all like that...ty
Well thats kind of what im getting at its homeschoolers are a few notches over most people because im public schooled and ill admit our system is terrible if u want education homeschool if u want social skills public school and by politics i meant not government politics..like politicle actions between people like dealin with backstabbing and secrets and all
Hmm Well it may be different where ur at cause i am at a small town school i became friends with all the social groups the good crowd more then the cool people but they still respect me but then again at the school kids get in trouble at the school the teachers know their parents
Oh really? can I ask you, have you ever been home schooled, had a close friend who was home schooled, or even known someone who was home schooled?
Most kids in school don't know anything about politics except the name of the prime minister. I am natrually shy, I remember being shy when I used to go to school, and if you call natrual shyness " extremely hard for them to interact properly with public school" then what about shy people IN school. do they get branded as social rejects?
i really liked this video but i had absolutely no idea people disliked home schooled kids. whenever i tell someone im home schooled they normally react like. :O "your so lucky"

I'm thirteen, and I'm homeschooled. I live in California, which you all know is one jacked-up place. Where I live, you go to Middle school (or junior high) in 7th grade. The first week I was pushed out into the street at the bus stop and was hit by a car. those kids kept tormenting me the rest of the year. Halfway through that school year, one of my friends switched to a charter school. I am now going to this school because PUBLIC SCHOOL IS H*LL. I loved this video.

We are sick of hearing how we are child-abusers, how we have too large of families, and how we have zero chance of success in life. Perhaps we shouldn't be so bitter, but it's hardly something we can help anymore.

Public school is not "the social enemy". It allowed most people to be educated - a huge societal step forward! Many can't afford the expense and stay-at-home parent for home school. So I strongly disagree with that line.
You should not be mocked for home school itself. That is wrong.
Sadly any choice where you aren't conforming with society may have this unfair extra cost. Intolerance hurts both ways.
The smug anger just repels, and is all over these videos.
Take care

@Peace9A Public school IS the social enemy. Kids in public school have zero social skills, sub-zero manners, no values, and often are anti-government and pro-communism. Don't deny me, I may be a homeschooler but I know people who stopped sending their kids to public school for those reasons. Obviously you are a public school kid, so shut up and go away. You are free to make your own video about public school which insults homeschoolers if you so wish.

Really want to live in a communist state where you had to believe what you were told to believe at the possible expense of your life? Freedom is a good thing. It's why people came in hordes to this land to get away from the dictatorship of the Church of England. And just so you know, Darwin denounced all that "scientific" bunk he was peddling before he died, but you don't hear about that.

Have our children for the bulk of the day and are paid to teach them. Add to that that the average cost of schooling a child for one academic year in a gms is over $16,000. The most expensive private schools don't come ANywhere near that figure. And the government wants MORE. What business could survive if they produced horrible results at an exorbitant cost? And as far as creationism goes, so what if we teach our children to believe in God? You are free to believe what you believe. Would you r

Unlike anything that exists in real life. Children in gms spend the bulk of their day imprisoned without even the right to tend to their own bodily functions wo permission, they spend time getting ready for, in transit to and from, to come home & do 2 to 4 more hours of work. Essentially, there is no family time because the gms eats it all up. No time for a child to be a child.

GideonMightyWarrior 7 months ago
@chamberwindow Actually, most children who are homeschooled perform 5 to 10 years ahead of their government monopoly school peers. Parents can tailor learning to each child's need. In gms, all children are required to learn exactly the same way. Bells tell children to start learning now or stop learning now to go learn what they are told to learn by some invisible gov bureaucrat. Teachers dont even have much authority over what they teach. Children are age segregated away from the community unl

Another thing.. whether or not "some" of the parents choosing homeschooling are legitimately trying to enrich their children, some are going to teach them creationism and other nonsense creating a subpopulation of ignoramuses. If the cost of preventing some parents from brainwashing their brood is that some others may not homeschool, really I cannot see another alternative besides at least mandating strict curriculum so that America does not fall behind non-homeschooling nations like Japan.

I went to public and private school and I made it to graduate school so there must be something worthwhile about the whole prospect. My one complaint about this video is that there is no mention about how the mother (presumably, but could be father) must remain out of the workplace in order for this system to work. Explain how lower income families with little education between the two parents are going to reign in their children each day and teach them about the Gilded Age or trigonometry.

@chamberwindow The costs of homeschooling kids seems to be a dirty little secret. I hate some of these homeschooling parents talking as if parents who send their kids to school are lazy ingrates. Some people just can't afford it, or they just aren't cut out to teach. It's not fair. My mother was a single mother for years and didn't have the time or money to homeschool me.

Hello, I was homeschooled and while I did get a kick out of some of your comments; I don't believe that was the best way to go about expressing your opinion. Generally people have discovered just how normal I am through conversation and are usually surprised to find that I was homeschooled(or during the period of time when I was in school, they were surprised to find that I was "normal". While there are some weirdos out there, that fact I do not disagree with.)

One thing I have learned is, EVERYTHING! If you have forgotten a subject, you can learn it and then teach it to your child. As you teach them, you are just further burning it in your head as well. That is how I got through med school. I would sit my 7 year old down and teach im what I learned that day. As I taught, he asked questions. I would have to answer those qhuestions and make sure they were right. This helped me ace it all! He is 9 now and has learned the periodic table song by john leher

He has no clue how many close friends i still have all of these years. And how many different things i learned, like signing and french.

In three months of doing nothing but talking to my husband on the phone, we learned a LOT about each other. Our values and desires and what we required for parenting closely met up. We've made compromises of course, but not at that level. Education is a very strong and important issue.
Large differences in values is what leads to a great number of divorces. That's how my first marriage ended.

Why would you want to have kids to send them somewhere you didn't like to go yourself as a child? Food for thought.

If they call that socializing, then forget it. I went to private school. By the way, I never went to my prom. I didn't miss a thing.

Great job on the video. Having raised two children homeschooled from kindergarten to college I can attest this video really hits the mark! I think much of the fear of homeschooling is rooted in insecurities parents have about the public school system not only for quality education but also due to the social malaise and mediocrity that infects it and leaves so many kids emotionally traumatized and/or wrecked, and frankly, bored.

People need to respect each other's parenting decisions, whether we agree with them or not. Public school families shouldn't be sterotyping homeschool families by saying their children lack social skills, while homeschool families shouldn't be stereotyping public school families by saying that their child isn't receiving a good education. I think the insults and the ignorant stereotypes go both ways. Just do what is best for your family.

@amyven Being a homeschooler, I know a lot of homeschoolers and I have never heard anyone denigrate public schooled children.

We are taxpayers and if something we pay for isn't working, we'll say so.

@Rosebunse Most homeschooling parents are aware of those situations, and we do feel for you. I have a suggestion for the government. How about instead of pooring money into a system that on average does not work, you downsize the schools to just those who want it and start issuing stipends to parents who want to educate their children at home but can't afford to. The former faculty can monitor it. Society would be amazed at the downturn of crime and upturn of society-contributing citizens.

@selenityhime But there are some parents who shouldn't homeschool their kids. If you make it too easy, then you'll have it where parents just keep their kids at home and don't teach them anything useful. They'll do it just for the money. Heck, it would probably become just like welfare, where you have some people who do use it effectively, but then you have people who abuse the system and hurt their kids in the process.
Rosebunse 5 months ago
@amyven The fact is for the past hundred years the government schools have been incrementally dumbed down to the Prussian Education System. They have taken the 7 Liberal Arts out of education, and no matter how much money you sink in the government school system, you will never produce bright, intelligent, students that are ready to go to collage without taking remedial education in college. That is why we see today colleges actively recruiting home schooled students!

Thank you for telling me that im a retarded/conformist/cattle as well as a worthless pos since I went to public school instead of being homeschool. Why not rag on a persons religion for being different than your religion, since religion is normally not the childs choice but the parents choice.

Public school just isn't for some people. Homeschooling just isn't for some people. It all depends on who you are, because the world is a diverse cross-section of people of all races, creeds, religions, regions, sexual orientations, genders, profiles, backgrounds, occupations and more. Public schooling isn't really how I learn about the world around me, so I'm unschooled (though I have a long history of textbook-reading). For public school kids, I guess homeschooling/unschooling isn't their way.

I went to public school for first & second grade and hated it--I was always bored, I hated being around kids who misbehaved constantly, and I got sick a lot. I was homeschooled until I finished high school (at 16) and now am enrolled in college. I'm at the top of my class and I have plenty of friends--with a huge variety of ages and backgrounds--that I can interact with because I was raised to be capable of having intelligent conversation with adults. For some, homeschooling is the best option.

You'll get used to the unfair shit that is going on in life, you will be stronger and you will know how to deal with stressful situations. Yes, even bullies have their role.
Homeschooling, it might be more relaxing and would not let you die from boredom and it will spare you from the useless bullcrap they teach you in public schools. It has it's + and - like everything.

There's no evidence to back up what you say about it teaching kids how to deal with stressful situations. Young kids in stressful situations generally develop all kinds of physical and psychological manifestations of stress. Older kids in stressful situations might turn to drugs or alcohol, if their environment makes these things readily available.

My husband is dyslexic and I am too, though to a lesser degree. So is our daughter. There are dyslexic teachers in public school too. We use the Thompson's Structured Language program for teaching dyslexics to read and The Language Tune - Up Kit for auditory learning. Public schools in our state do not test for nor teach to the needs of dyslexic students. Our child is gifted. In school she was treated as a failure and we were forced to drug her, as if literacy comes in a pill. You can do this.

When I was a kid I would have LOVED to have been homeschooled. I can't recall the number of times I came home in tears. Thank goodness I have the common sense to homeschool my own kids. My only regret is that I didn't do my homeschool research sooner.

Same here - why would I want my kids to go through all the bad things...

because with the bad the things, they also get things. Most things people think are a bad thing, are actually a good thing in disguise.

Did you ever think it might be OUR choice not be herded around like cattle the way the rest of the 'normal' world is in their schooling enviroments? Oh yes, when I say OUR, I mean the kids. I have never known a homescholer that desired to be sent to public or private school. Did you ever think that perhaps we feel uninhibited and free to learn the way thats best for us, rather than what a teacher wants to shove down our throat?

@WareWulf1408 hey. you. hi.
my name's david. i was homeschooled 1-10th grade, and hated it from the moment i learned that my parents weren't right about everything (even though they think they are...) which would be around 7th grade. i hated it. i HATED it. everything about being homeschooled was awful for me. and yes, i was in a group. no, it didn't help. (maybe the fact that my 9th grade history teacher, who was a homeschool mom, called obama the antichrist had something to do with that.)

Thats more to do with religious indoctrination than homeschooling- You would still have had to deal with that if you had been public-schooled.

I have to say, as a homeschooled man, who is homeschooling his children, that was really good. It's great to know there are other angry parents out there.

I heartlly agree with the last two statements, though I am not homeschooled, I am definitely considering it as an option for my (as yet unborn) children. Particularly since I plan to go into a line of work (writing books/poems) that would make such an arrangement convenient.

Great points. To address ACmetalfaceDC, don't assume because you met one introverted homeschooler that they are all like that--quite the contrary! In fact, in my 13 years of public school, I recall MANY a disfunctioning child, often due to the "feudal system" that kids create within the school (e.g. jocks, princesses, brainiacs, etc.). The teasing, the labeling, the social threats, and MUCH more... My h.s. daughter's p.s. friend always tells her, "It's not fair! You have more friends than me!"

They do get to socialize but not as much and things life self defense relationships and politics are foreign to them( a homeschooled kid came to my school a few months agoand you can totally tell) im saying you can get an extremely good education homeschooling but it is extremely hard for them to interact properly with public school and even private school kids

hmm interesting thing to say i was homeschooled and went to public schooled and in my civics class they knew nothing about politics...and they had 2 previous course they had to take about government and stuff. in fact many homeschoolers know alot about politics and know how to defend their opinion just from the fact they have serious discussions with adults and also just from the fact 1 homeschooler came to ur school don't assume we are all like that...ty

Again, I have known my best friend since I was 5, and have had no problem with keeping many a secret or "being back stabbed".

Oh really? can I ask you, have you ever been home schooled, had a close friend who was home schooled, or even known someone who was home schooled?
Most kids in school don't know anything about politics except the name of the prime minister. I am natrually shy, I remember being shy when I used to go to school, and if you call natrual shyness " extremely hard for them to interact properly with public school" then what about shy people IN school. do they get branded as social rejects?
