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

[sdfan00]

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

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!

@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.

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 :(.

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.

[momof3sews]

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.

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

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

[shamgar001]

@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]

@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.
