Question:
This is exactly the kind of post from homeschoolers that gives me the creeps. I have both home schooled and sent my kids to public school (where they are now). Every situation is different. Homeschooling works for some families at some ages. It is not a blanket solution for everyone. And it is damned hard work to do it right. Only you know what is best for your children at different stages in their lives. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > You’ve heard of the gas out and its success in California.

the home schooling didn’t hurt or better my intelligence any and even though it was a huge mistake I still got back into highschool<had to start over in 9th grade at 16> and graduated right away and went onto college a year ahead of everyone else in my class it was just really hard and darlin,,, it ain’t because of anything you did that your kids are smart they would have tested just as high if they would have stayed in school <I’m sick of adults saying that this is the first generation that is growing up and isn’t as smart as the previous> why is it then that I’m not the only 18 years old in my school that is in his/her second year of college already and can baffle adults with words that they have never even heard of?> I think it’s stupid that adults want to think hat they are better then the new generation just because they are afraid that they are inferior!

You must live in an awfully small community. In reality most kids in public school are exposed to many more people than 20-1oo students. They are also exposed to a wide range of adults (teachers, counselors, club advisors, etc) In school, children must fend for themselves socially, with no one to > intervene when problems occur. Teachers are generally too busy for minor > problems.
Yes, this is how they learn coping skills. You help them cope. If they run into a problem that they can’t cope with, you intervene. They learn how to handle a wide variety of situations without you running interference all the time. Life is tough, and mommy isn’t always going to be there to get you out of the situation. Kids need to learn coping skills and be supported in practicing them. My biggest problem when I homeschooled my kids was that they thought the world revolved around them and their schedules. They rarely had to do things they found dull or distasteful. But real life has lots of these moments. There is a certain value to learning how to get along with someone you don’t like, rather than being allowed to always walk away and not deal with the problem. Homeschooling can work, but it is not problem free. The problems are just different from those of kids attending school. I wish the homeschoolers could refrain from painting their world as perfect. All decisions have trade-offs.
Response:
I can see this is going to be a VERY long thread I know I won’t give up on it <I don’t think many other of the teens here will either> we should be able to make our own decisions and our own mistakes if your kids choose to be homeschooled then that is their choice if it works for them good! but they should have that dicision,,, and I don’t mean a kid that has been homeschooled most of his life and doesn’t know any better I mean someone that has tried both and thinks it to be the better of the two but you should not force your kids into it because they will resent you for it <wait never mind they will resent you anyway <it’s a growing up thing> – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >see this is the funny thing about us kids >we can realize a point and not think he is in the least bit right! >You’re not alone, Marie.

LOL!! Unless you isolate kids by extreme distances or tie them up in basements, they *will* find eachother in order to play and interact socially. — Do not underestimate your abilities. That is your boss’s job. It is your job to find ways around your boss’s roadblocks.

You’ve heard of the gas out and its success in California. Well now parents around the country are participating in the SCHOOL OUT. From Oregon to Massachusetts, parents are pulling their kids out of schools, public and private, to perform home teaching. This is within your rights as a parent and it’s quite easy. Please also pass this message to anyone you know to help stop the children carnage. We are urging all parents who are stay-at-home or mostly-stay-at-home to join. Imagine what a statement would be made to incompetent school administrators and the bureaucratic government if school classrooms around the country had but a handful of students attending. Call your children’s school principal and tell them you are keeping your children home for their own safety!! Ask to have their school work available for you to pick up each day and turn back in. Your children will learn more and, most of all, they will stay alive. Certainly, school children in Los Angeles and New York have gone to school every day facing guns. But now, guns are showing up everywhere and simply no school is safe. You might have seen and heard the responses from the NRA on the rash of school shootings. You might have seen and heard the 20/20 hidden cameras recording 3 and 4 year old boys and girls playing with guns after being lectured not to touch guns. Perhaps you’ve heard all the statistics, for example, that say that it is three times more likely that a family member will be shot if you have a gun in your home. This means that if you have three children, the odds are very high that one of them will be shot dead or maimed. Education about guns and gun control are not enough! The only way your children will be safe is if you are watching them yourself. Who else do you trust with your children? Who else do your children cherish and listen to the most? Wouldn’t it be wonderful to not have to worry about your gun being shot to death by a classmate? Throw away your guns and keep your kids home and out of school so you can live life to its fullest, the way it was meant to be lived. —Share what you know. Learn what you don’t.—
