i was puiblic school and stood up for God and had opprotunities homeschoolers never did in fact I find these videos kinda offensive we dont all attack you public school isnt evil its the Nineveh God calls us to send our kids to but are afraid to because honestly i belief people dont have faith God can use us IM LIVING PROOF HE DID

@DeJay17Revolution This is not an attack on the public school system nor does the video EVER state that it is!! This is intended to uplift homeschoolers and commend them for the excellent job they are doing. I'm rather befuddled at how you arrived at that conclusion. By the way, you really should use proper grammar and spelling when you are defending an educational paradigm;) Just saying...

@vlr1230 I went to public school and I made a difference that couldnt have happened if I was homeschooled. I respect your opinion but even with these statistics the debate almost become you boosting a few egos you know? I understand homeschool pride is huge considering they get allot of flack but the idea of throwing statistics around cam e across to me as a bragging contest for a group of people. Even if they end up becoming more intelligent would we sacrifice that for not reaching the lost?

[vlr1230]

@DeJay17Revolution 1. You don't know what kind of difference you could have made as a homeschooler because that is not the road you traveled. 2. I was not "throwing statistics around." Quite a lot of research went into this video to make it both entertaining and educational. It was meant to uplift as well as give those thinking of homeschooling something to consider. 3. God never called a 5 year old to the ministry. Mature Christians are the key. 4. Yes, I want my child to be intelligent. see #3

@graceannegracie I never put a cap over them, or if I did I didn't mean to. But surely you can see that they will have more of a social experience by going to school, they'll meet al of the people in their local area that are their age, and obviously they'll be doing more sports and field trips which you claim is what's making them sociable. And, to be honest, yes, it's probably fine for sociable children to be home-schooled, but what about shyer ones who find it hard to make friends?

[vlr1230]

@DrunkenGlums Your're absolutely right! My son is not socialized at all. He hangs out with people who are NOT EXACTLY his own age. They may even be 3 years older or 2 years younger! He doesn't have ANY SORT of Pavlovian response to bells ringing, he doesn't ask permission to relieve himself, he has the AUDACITY to express himself and debate with others, he is unconcerned with high fashion, he studies subjects that INTEREST him, and reads books he ENJOYS. He even shakes hands with adults.

@vlr1230 He's totally messed up! I'm so ashamed of myself:(

@DrunkenGlums

Thing is, you must not know any thing about homeschooling or any actual homeschoolers, or the ones you know are not socialized. Quite contrary to your belief, most homeschoolers ARE socialized through co-ops, field trips, sports, and more. And by putting a cap over ALL homeschoolers by saying that they ALL don't have social skills and they are ALL not socialized makes you look like an IDIOT.

I was not homeschooled and I was anti-homeschool UNTIL....I had a child of my own. God gave her to me and my husband. It is OUR responsibility to teach her ALL she needs to know to survive and succeed. We are currently 12 weeks away from finishing our first year of homeschool. It hasn't been easy but it is very rewarding. I get to witness those "aha" moments that would go by unseen or unappreciated in a public school classroom. While I know not everyone can homeschool because of work and other

Many homeschooling families have one parent who stays home and often these families teach strong work ethics through expecting the children to contribute to the family through chores. I noticed as a public school teacher that the kids who struggled the most in school often were the same kids who came from deplorable home situations where the environment was hostile. I think that is a key difference in these statistics that is often ignored.;

[DeJay17Revolution]

@vlr1230 I dont really? I would have never met several of the people i witnessed to and never would have had the experience and friends

its fine that you encourage them thats cool but if we all homeschool our kids who will go and witness in these areas? Christians mature better from experience

I love the quote by Christopher Paolini :D Homeschooled and proud of it! ^.^
