@miazagora All he said was he knows people that are homeschooled and they did not do much. He did not say that all people who are homeschooled do not do much. I think he means that no matter where you go to school or how you go to school really still depends on your will to learn. Homeschool does not guarantee sucess, thus the "not all homeschool program are good". I do not see anywhere in his statement that say all homeschooled people learn the same way. Where are your credential and studies.

Come on now give this a break. She's had a lot of hits to this site.  Obviously there are hundreds of other homeschool geography lessons online, so listen to them all. Thanks.

@miazagora are you saying creationism is real?

@miazagora that's a given, what i mean is, she basically stated the obvious, just like most of these "expert" village videos, in today's standerds is basically the equivalent to a whole video based on how to breath.

@FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7 "Scientists, we emphasize, seem quite happy to include forensic medicine and SETI in the realm of science. Why, then, the furore when some scientists claim that there is scientific evidence of intelligent causation in physics (small furore) or biology (large furore)? There is surely no difference in principle. Is the scientific method not applicable everywhere?" God's Undertaker by John Lennox

@FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7 "...why is it only in connection with this area of intellectual endeavour that I have ever heard an eminent scientist (with a Nobel Prize to his name, no less) say in a public lecture in Oxford: 'You must not question evolution'? After all, scientists have dared to question even Newton and Einstein." John Lennox, Reader in Mathematics at the University of Oxford.

@KiLLSiGnZ No, she didn't. She said it's more important to know where to get information you don't know than to expect yourself to know everything. No teacher can possibly know everything in the curriculum - even those wonderfully effective public school teachers. With budget cuts, you may have a math teacher who also teaches geography or art. They have curricula. They have lesson plans. They are told what to teach. They don't know everything.

@petergonefar "I think that the social problems with homeschooling far outweigh any benefit..." What social problems? Are their "social problems" in public schools?  What are your credentials? How many homeschoolers have you studied and how long have you studied them? Is your work published? How do you decide if a homeschooling teacher is "good at their job" - and do you use the same measurements to critique public school teachers?

[miazagora]

@reasonz2lie How do you know they don't do much? Have you observed these "people who are homeschooled" for a whole day? If so, was it an average day? Do you assume from watching said "people" that ALL homeschooled people teach/learn the same way? What are your credentials to judge whether what they do is not enough? Are all public schooled kids taught the same way? What about the private-schooled kids?
