My daughter is in public school but my husband and I augment her eduction at home. He is a math major and I was an English major and we are both in the IT field so she gets a lot of information from us. She is in kindergarten and at the age of four was already computer literate. Her teacher at school recognizes the fact that she has excelled past her peers in class and has placed her in a 'gifted and talented' program in school where she gets personal instruction from a different teacher in Math, English and art, her three best subjects while her classmates work on the remedial stuff in class.

the funny thing is, as socially inept as you find your employer, hes signing your checks. you work for him.






Yup even if he never gets laid without paying, and doesn't have any friends, at least the boss can say "I'm a powerful man I sign peoples' checks, everyone pretends to respect me!". Then he goes back to an empty home.

Another great thing about cramped government indoctrination rooms is that your kids can new and exciting viruses from other kids!



or get shot by a maladjusted student, or just plain bullied [ what real public school socialization is ]

Or just be taught that independent thinking or certain POVs about social issues are not acceptable

Or get arrested as a terrorist by the school police, while being scanned with metal detectors like a criminal ... Plus getting a chance to be tazed as well.


As you can see public schooling has a lot more to offer in terms of experience that home-schooling could

LOL @ fear mongering.

It's a good thing the Michigan Militia training camp that you send your kids to don't have any of that.

or have your teenage daughter get suspended for having a midol in her purse because shes on her period and they have a "zero tolerance" policy for drugs.

seriously some of the boneheadedness of school policies is almost beyond belief. Sometimes they really emulate big business in that they are so big they're out of touch.

If parents want to home-school their kids, that's fine. God forbid I actually have kids, but if I did, I'd send them to public school, though. Trial by fire.

If I had kids I'd be okay with K-5 or whenever grade school finishes these days. Hell no to middle and high school.

I figure if they can't steer clear of alcohol and drug abuse in Middle/High School, and they can't handle bullying and violence, then they're not ready for the real world. Certainly not ready for internet forums, either.
