Is homeschooling a good solution?

Kids dont have the capability to make decisions. That's why we don't hold them responsible for their mistakes. My RWNJ parents ruled with an iron hsnd. We were told that having our own opinions came with the ability and willingness to support ourselves. Until tben we had no opinions of our own.
I am "right wing" but I like asking my kids their opinions and what THEY think is the best option etc. I prefer to guide them instead of DICTATING to them. I have expectations that were well known when they were VERY young and they have been repeated so they know what we expect. So far no reason to force anything on them....odd how kids usually make the RIGHT choice when allowed to do it themselves I am more strict with their clothing options than anything else lol
You have to realize - liberals play a bunch of misinformation cards (like your children will lack social skills, or they will be "brainwashed") because homeschooling is one of those things that scares the living hell out of them. Indoctrination is the only thing they have going for them. An objective person, when provided the facts, will choose conservatism every time. If the American people start moving towards homeschooling, the dependent class will have no way of convincing the young and impressionable why failed liberal socialism is the way to go.
Might as well end this thread now, folks....we have a winner....nicely done, Rottweiler.....
The real research on home schooling is astounding. I think more than anything is that parents of homeschooled children are heavily involved. And other research has shown that nothing impacts a child's education more than the level of involvement by the parents.
Right as rain and what liberals ant us to think is that the child will not be able to socially interact with others....I mean seriously? Home schooled kids will not be interacting with other kids on the weekends and the three months of Summer? School is only in session 176 days out of the year...that leaves 189 days that a child is not being programmed...how and the fuck do these children survive? (insert eye roll here)
Not only that - but they are also heavily involved in a wide range of after school activities - from sports, to clubs, to church, etc. And then of course is the basic playing with the neighborhood kids.

Truth be known - I actually played college football with an individual who was homeschooled his entire grade school career. His grades where exceptional in college, he went on to a long career in the NFL, and will probably be inducted into the Hall of Fame soon.
 
Homesvhool is a legit option for a parent who stays home who is Willi g to ensure at least 7 hours of direct instruction per day 5 days per week. If I went back and homeschooled, my kids would be well aware of the countless faults of america.
So they would never discover your faults?

I homes schooled two kids, one thing that is not taught is myopic opinions like yours..
I salute you Moonglow. And I applaud you. So rare to see a liberal take a genuine interest in their children. Most liberals either abort or abandon.
Untrue, but you live that lie..It's what you were taught..
It's untrue that you had an interest in your children's well being? Well - I do respect and appreciate your honesty. It sounded like you were a good parent based on you post - but I do apologize if I got that wrong.
Oh I know, you can't live without trying to convince others what is untrue, who taught you to be that way?
I post more facts on this site than anybody. I post all of the links to the information. Just like I did above with homeschooling. I've noticed that I've never seen you post a single citation. Not one. You may have done it somewhere, but I haven't seen it. Meanwhile, you would be very hard pressed to find a thread I was on that I didn't post at least one link (and in many cases, dozens).

The reality is - you just make stuff up as you go to support your bizarre ideology. I do research, learn the facts, and post accurate information.
 
Homeschooling cost about 300+ dollars a month, and that is a cheap one...Can you afford that?
Pffff...that's a steal next to the cost of government schooling. By the time you get through with the waste, fraud, abuse, and worst of all - the unions, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it were $300 per hour for each student.

It is more of a struggle with social events, but a local church helps, along with athletics in the community..But my first child lived many miles from town, so he was more isolated than others are..
Since he had a parent that cared....I am sure that he made out just fine. I hated school for the most part....not because of what I learned but because of the bullying that comes with being a kid that had to move a lot. I never had anyone that was in a position of power to stand up for me....I was told to just " take my lumps and deal with it". Great lesson to teach a kid when he is 9 years old. The public school system is the communist model for society that the global elites want to implement.

The cost of public has nothing to do with the cost of homeschooling, since you still pay for both..
 
School is what your kid makes of it. If they have an issue, look in the mirror for the problem. Problem kids have kooky parents.

Home schooling is great if you want to raise a child with no exposure to any other ideas than your own,

Most people do not have the capability to homeschool because their own education is lacking or it is not feasible because of work schedules, etc.

If you can do it, great! If not, don't try to use it as a dodge for mandatory attendance laws or you will just be raising another idiot dependent on social services. ellen



If you go online, there are many outstanding organizations for people who want to home school along with excellent resources.

Since when do our pathetic, progressive government school system teach any conservatism whatsoever? Studies show that they socialize just fine.

Here's a great idea for better schools, allow parents to send their children to the school of their choice. If it is a private school, religious school or whatever, give them a voucher. Private schools do it better and for less money than government schools.

Private schools do it better and for less money than government schools.

Just would love to see your evidence of this.... I am sure you have loads...


I will point out the best education systems in the world are generally public...

I had to learn to stand up for myself...Just as every kid must learn...In every school I attended, the military and life in general..Bullying does not emanate from public schools, it starts at home...
 
Knowing what I do now? There is no fucking way I would send my kids to the indoctrination centers that are trying to pass themselves off as public education. They don't teach kids HOW to think insomuch as they teach them what to think. They don't want generations of free thinkers...they want obedient workers that will never question authority which is so ironic since the teaching profession is thick with liberals that made it their business to question the status quo...that is, until they became the authority. I can't even begin to express my utter hatred for what passes as "liberals" today....they have been nothing but useful idiots to the same oligarchs that they proclaim to be against. They don't have the sense that God saw fit to give a goat......un-friggin'-real.

This is the problem with some Homeschoolers... What kind of education would Dale give a child...

Lets make it very clear... Dale's children would have rights, they have the right to be educated properly despite Dale trying to restrict this right...

The thing is Children have rights too...

So the question is: Does the rights of the child outweigh to wishes of the parents?

And yet somehow homeschooled kids kick ass on virtually every measure. For the record I homeschooled my older son. All the homeschooled kids I ever met, even where their parents were hardly intellects, were polite and could interact well with adults.

Really? How do they kick ass? Did you bother to test the special education student whose mother decided to home school her child while she was lacking even a high school diploma? Of course not!

Look up self-selection bias.

Home school children do not take standardized tests and have the option to take the ACT and SAT. Many public school students are required to take those tests, whether they ever intend to go to college or not. I have watched students bubble in the sheet randomly and then take a nap.

How well do you think they do, when compared to home school students who take the tests in order to go to college?
 
ITT I see a lot of people who lack a basic education wishing to pass on their lack of a basic education to their children rather than giving their children the chance to be educated, form their own opinions, and succeed in life.

If your world view is so fragile as to be defeated by basic education...it may mean that your world view is wrong...not that basic education is wrong.
 
I am interested in discussion dale and if you don't agree that's fine. To get mad about it is petty and small.. Very small.

Wow....this is such a mountain of misinformation, I don't even know where to begin. You're literally just making shit up as you (typical of idiot liberals).

For starters - homeschooled children absolutely must take standard tests. It's state law. You're an absolute buffoon who has no idea about reality. You clearly don't even know what homeschooling is. You think a mother or father can just make up the curriculum (which is completely false and totally hilarious).

A homeschooled child must learn the state curriculum and must go to a testing center for all "normal" tests and for all standardized tests you buffoon.

Further still, here are the actual facts on homeschooling. How about learning something for once before spouting off about it?!?

“A recent study shows that homeschooled kids score almost twice as high on exams as public school students. Other studies show that homeschooled kids score 72 points higher than the national average on SAT exams.

Homeschoolers are more likely to attend college, are more likely to graduate, and have higher college GPAs (Grade Point Averages) than other students.

The old wives’ tale spread by the teachers’ unions (who are afraid of competition) is that homeschoolers are not “socialized.” Well, the facts are in. Homeschoolers are almost twice as involved in their local community or church as public school students, and almost three times as involved in politics.

Homeschooled children also have far fewer behavioral problems.”
