A Taste of Homeschooling 

Yes!

SCHOOLS aren't regulated. The regulations exist, but nobody enforces them. There's no REASON to do it, they get paid either way.

Emily Lempka Right on, Emily!

In some states, it is regulated very heavily.

@@American_Liberty it's true, some states' governments have wormed their nasty fingers into homeschooling.

Well said, and communism manifestos in the common core...shouldn't surprise anyone. Common everything for the non elite is their motto, so public school is bad for maintaining a freedom loving society.

End mandatory school, ged and hsd requirements, age limits, minimum wage, and exsessive regs. People should be able to learn how to do a good job they want so they can afford a house and car before 18. For those who and whos parents cant afford it, tax deductible chairty and or the about 180,000dollars spent on k thru 12 per student could pay for it and trash k thru 12 and some of that money could be used to promote more independence and healthy living. Regardless If schools reopen or not, the funding should go to parents to send their child to public, private, charter, religious, or home school, or to a babysitter or day care(they could do online schooling), of their choice or their childs choice. Preferably the child should be able to choose as long as the school they want to attend isnt to far. SO SENDING THEM BACK TO PUBLIC SCHOOL ISNT THEIR ONLY "FREE DAYCARE" OPTION. so money won't be the obstical that stops them from sending their child somewhere other than a public school while they go to work. Children should be given the option to make more of their own choices regarding their education and what they are taught. We need more education choice. More cirriculum choice. Tax funded education should be more geared toward individualized job training for a good job the child wants, instead of teaching them a bunch of info they forget after the test and never use and is irrelevant to the job they want.

Hi bob, it's mike

That is so true!

Your comment wins!!

Right?! Isn’t it great when you get to make the same laws you’re supposed to abide by, it’s too convenient and corrupt 🤨

Exactly.

That sounds cool

I wish i was homeschooled

We know a family that did kinda the same thing except they bought an RV and trecked around the U.S. After doing that they wound up working as missionaries in Mexico somehow and then as missionary trainers in Hawaii (teaching missionaries how to teach hydroponic farming to people in third world countries) , with their kid along with them the whole way. I think she may have even gone on trips to some of the third-world countries with them. Now the kid in college somewhere after having an incredible childhood full of adventure and more experiences traveling and meeting different people than 99% of American kids her age.

Sounds fun! Glad you shared that!

Good for you!!

Good job and good luck!

Isn't it great to have your kids home with you? I've been homeschooling my 6 year old this year and I love seeing him play with his little brother. It only takes about an hour to do actual school work for his age.

I’m so excited for you. We’ve been homeschooling since 2013 and loving it!

I was forced into staying home with my kids bc their other parent was deploying and I couldn't leave them with a sitter 12 hrs a day, and then kinda forced to homeschool bc the system kept bugging me about everything thats wrong with my kid. Sometimes that's what it takes to break the ties, just being submersed in it long enough to get used to it. I thought I would go back to work after the deployment, but I had already gotten over the drudgery and broken through to actually enjoying 24/7 with my kids :)

He didnt even need to imply it. The video could begin and end with that quote. Full stop.

I wanted to spit when he said that. I can't find one kid educated in public schools who knows the principles of our nation, the difference between public servants and rulers, the meaning of "rule of law", or the importance of our Constitution and the rights it delineates. They are taught that politics is the process of getting things out of the government. The schools are teaching democrat-ism, not democracy. Certainly not Constitutional Republican-ism.

Yup My thought as well...

@@trublgrl This is true...I grew up in the southern states...so its much different there.

@Scottish Girl except for that one guy...

I have been home schooling my kids. So far, they've learned that China sucks, the US is great, my boy learned he's a boy, and my girl learned she's a girl.

Long ago... Some schools do still teach proper civics, but they are few these days.

I had a great civics class! It was in the 1970's.

Well if they taught civics we wouldn’t have a shut down to begin with

@@anthonybruni1967 Perhaps we still would have, The media(they cannit be considered news anymore) drove everyone into a frenzied panic.

Either they don't teach history and civics at all, or, even worse, they teach a radically perverted toward the Left version that does far more damage than good.

SO TRUE!

Yes, but education died when the government took it over. and that was far longer than 30 years ago.

@Central Intelligence Agency Not true, they're many way homeschoolers can have social interactions like play dates or playgrounds, (the whole "them becoming socially weird" is a myth peddled by so-called "educators")

How's that working out? As Forrest Gump said, "stupid is, as stupid DOES..." and so public schools ARE stupid.

They have ton's of regulations and the have made the schools much worse...but these clowns either don't see it or don't care.

I loved it when he said home schooled children might not be learning democratic values-he means their liberal BS.

@@kg3095 Leftist BS, there is nothing liberal about the way these twisted people think or act.

@police-and-military-are-welfare-whores I was thinking of classical liberalism, not the sham liberalism of the last hundred years. P.S. I like your account name. I've had conversations with "public servants" along those lines, it never goes well, usually ending in my being cursed at and threatened.

LOL

He should do a standup routine at the comedy club on homeschool night.

I just had a conversation with my home-schooled kids (11, 9, and 7) about how the politics we see in Star Wars (episodes 1, 2, and 3) parallels the politics of today. Tell me a typical public school student can do that, and I'll get the fire extinguisher for your pants.

Right!? I haven’t met even one homeschooled student who wasn’t smarter and more well informed than students from public schools.

Yes!!!

but i like to complain about public schools while attending public schools to my friends that go to public school :(

Same here! I'm about to graduate after spending most of my studies being homeschooled, and I'm glad others are getting a taste of how much more rewarding homeschooling is!

B-b-b-but how are you going to learn how to solialize without going to a public school. Surely you must have grown up awkward and socially inept at home?

@@nick7072 Not at all! I've got the neighbor kids to hang out with, my friends at church, my co-workers at my part-time job, etc... I have plenty of socializing I can do, and being a homeschooler hasn't held me back thus far through life. 👍

YUP, yup, yup.

There is regulation though...at least in my state. We were required to test and turn in our results every other year. Oddly, (although probably because the homeschoolers fought for it) we did not take my state's yearly test...we had a choice of two other national standardized tests. And every test results were in the top 98%...this was without teaching to the test as public schooled children are taught.

Throughout my time in Public Education that all I did was learn a standardized test for 17 years (2002 to 2019) I'm finally glad I graduated a year ago. My creativity was stripped away from K to 12th grade like how a baby Elephant was stripped of their spirits when being abused for the cruel circus life. I had to use the internet as my only help for fun, sadness/anger and learning. Ugh -_-

madden8021 excellent testimonial of how they spend 13 YEARS of full time education to beat a dead horse because you come out knowing nothing about how to function in life.

Elisha exactly, but at the same time you pledge allegiance as “one nation under GOD” everything is either contradictory or hypocritical out of the government 🙄

Elisha Good luck to you, you sound like you’re already ahead at the game of life! Nice to know there’s still hope for your generation 🙏😊

@ madden8021 & Elisha, Sorry, My last comment was to the both of you! Congrats to you both 👏👏👏

I was taught one semester of government my senior year, but that was 19 years ago.

Absolute truth. My son graduated 6 out of 450 about 2 years ago from a public school. He happens to be a history buff, so he’s safe on that and reads and researches things he’s interested in learning. He point blank told me that average students go to school and are coddled all the way through-which I knew. The goal isn’t education. Public schools are a tax funded business that is failing terribly. Sadly, the people paying the taxes get ZERO say in what’s going on inside the walls. My local district often holds meetings unannounced in which they bar parents from attending. Lawsuits have done nothing to change that. Keep in mind, they are “the top ranked school district in the state.” I guess being the best of the worst is supposed to mean something. 🙄 Fact is, Federal grant money is tied to all types of programs taught in these “institutions” and the states gobble them up to make up for budget “shortfalls” of their own creation. They teach whatever drivel is attached to the money and are supported by the teachers unions for doing so. Public schools suck and the evidence is overwhelming.

My instant response that was "Yes! Because it's none of your fuckin' business!"

yes. But a question Stossel should`ve asked was "Why is it important to learn "democratic" values in a non-democratic country? I guess to teach them what not to believe in, democratic mob rule, I guess.

This is a republic. Not a democracy. Another reason I have zero faith in indoctrinators...i mean educators.

That's what I heard too. But if he wanted kids to learn, he should have said constitutional laws.

I think you hit the nail on the head alek.

They *mean* Marxist

Beautiful comment, she sacrificed for you and sent a well adjusted man out into the world who is capable, confident and successful 🎉

I don't think she feels it was a sacrifice, more of a job well done with great value added. Its every parents dream to make a better person than themselves . Success its its own reward. Congratulations to your folks.

@@nowcycle The "right" parents are the child's parents. No one cares more about children's results than their parents.

Almost ALL homeschool is better than public school. Anyone parent who thinks the government knows what's best for their kids, shouldn't HAVE any.

@@michaelsmith6818 Perhaps you're right that no one cares more but caring does not magically give a parent the tools, desire, ability, perseverance, and patience required to homeschool. Homeschooling is difficult. I'd say it's more difficult than being a classroom teacher by a pretty wide margin. There are likely far more parents who simply could not homeschool their child(ren) well under any circumstances than those who can do so adequately.

However if your Parents do not care about Homeschooling is bad.

I would agree with you on the right parents make a difference. So what happens when this covid 19 pandemic is over and both parents have to return to work in order to support their family. The problem I see is that you would have some parents that would follow through and actually teach their children but a lot will not and those children will be left behind. I still believe public schools are our best bet at educating the masses and instead of focusing on tearing it down we need to focus on fixing it.

Of course; as George Washington said, government is only about one thing: FORCE. And smart people don't learn in captivity.

love creates bias. i guess your uncle comes over for friendly visits

@Richard Fox Parents have a different type of love to teachers. Most teachers do desire their students to do the best they can. However, parents give their kids an intimate love that no one can give them.

@@daniellucas5330 They have a VERY unsuccessful way of showing it. When they write their countless letters to the editor and their generously allotted special editorial columns, and of course their endless protest marches, it's the exact same list of horribles. VERY RARELY do they remember among all their btchs about pay/respect/conditions/hours/blah blah blah, to include; "I mean....FOR THE KIDS"

As an adult son of a now-retired elementary ed teacher, I’ve witnessed several instances in which former students have run up to give her hugs. Some were even adults at the time. Not all... but many teachers are very loving and concerned about their students’ lives. Homeschooling is and has been an option for some time. I think many parents either don’t feel confident in their teaching abilities or feel pursuing their own careers while allowing trained professionals teach their kids is the most efficient use of time. Perhaps, during this time though, some parents that lacked confidence have found they actually like home schooling and will pursue it. Others will be thankful when they can devote full focus to their careers again. Regardless, both approaches have value and we remain free to choose for ourselves. And THAT is what makes America great!

And what do you use all that math for now?

That guy is so arrogant. People like him are why public schools are so broken.

No, these people are so brainwashed and used to spouting the lies of the system they no longer have the ability to think critically. And yet they still want to "teach" the children????

Because schooled turned away from teaching a long time ago and now they are centers of indoctrination. He is mad because parents might have a chance to undo some of that brainwashing now.

Yeah, he did not seem to notice he ADMITTED he knows kids aren't learning.

Being a CPUSA democrat means you can take both sides of any issue even in the same interview and never be held responsible for you conflicting opinions or actions.

Out of curiosity which college did her child end up in?

Yea for you! But when both parents need to need to work outside the home the “homeschooling” model doesn’t work!!!

@@hottleggs1 i completely agree. It should be voluntary, not mandatory

hottleggs1 This is true for most, but I know a few families who home educate with 2 working parents. They work different shifts, so one of them is there at all times. I would not do it that way, but it works in a few cases.

Mycoffee26 This is awesome! So happy for you!

Yes, something cool about life is that children tend to ask questions we don't even think about. Their minds are broad for exploring in that way.

Yes, the parents do get a better education than when they were in the failed government day care centers.

Socially Awkward, Anti-Social. No Sports. Parents are too stupid to teach Physics...

What about those parents that cant homeschool? Not everyone can, especially with younger children that need more of a push and constant redirection

Yep. My math is better than ever ,after teaching it to my 12 year old.

It was a few years and because I wanted to do something other than work in an office that I attended my first college classes. I was amazed at how uneducated I was. Everything in school was my memorization and rote. College gave texture and meaning. The reading material wasn't aimed at why drugs are bad to why take drugs. This is so f'ing interesting. That was after my first lesson in Aristotle.

Yep, same here. Only IDIOTS learn in captivity!

Democracy is mob rules. You learned it in five seconds.

@Richard Fox You need math, or you will be taken advantage of in any business dealing. If you build buildings you need a number of math disciplines, even if you may not know you're using them. Math helps you make sure the bank is being honest about your loan interest.

@Richard Fox Unfortunately so, especially when you're trying to teach that overly complicated "common core". I looked at some of those workbooks, it's stupid, it was much easier to learn when I was a kid, although still annoying at times.

I chuckled a bit with the “walking into the last 15 min of a movie”. Spot on.

Back in high school there was no mention of the Weimar Republic, USA provoking Japan through sanctions, the holodomor. Basically WWII was "evil mustache guy started war and the good guys saved the world from his evil" according to public school curriculums

I didn't have a clue about ANYTHING until I went to college. School was just an overbearing pressure-cooker to make people feel inferior and blame the victim.

Tom Evans it’s indoctrination!

Jack Mcslay I actually think the us handled Japan pretty well, but yes the majority of details are left out. Like the fact Stalin would’ve stayed out of the war if Hitler didn’t break the treaty. The pure lack of understanding is disturbing

It actually depends more on the parent than the school curriculum. In most teaching, the teacher is the key component. They can make school come alive to the student, or make it boring, or too hard to understand.

By the nature of the fact that the people most interested in your life are teaching you seems to disagree with your statement.

Home schooled kids are more sociable because they are not subjected to the cast system in public schools. They are more likely to make friends of other kids from different socioeconomic backgrounds, providing the parent promotes that.

Gary Wildgoose I agree with all the statements that say public schools are bad, but I don’t really agree with your statement, When I was in public school, me and my friends had no problem with making friends with people from around the world, that’s something homeschooled kids will have due to not have much interaction with others.

A cat with three names that’s what it really is I did cyber school I would do whatever I wanted and only did maybe 18 hours of school work a day and still graduated with a and b grades

I homeschool my kids and was homeschooled myself. My oldest is 9 and he can do 7 subjects in about 1-2 hours.

That's the crux of it. There's so much time in school spent lining up against the wall to go to another room then settling in, getting out books, putting books away and other transitions. I remember from when I was in school that there was literally MINIMUM 10 minutes wasted out of every hour. Honestly, it was probably more like 25 minutes of every hour or more.

I homeschooled my eldest k-3, this year my wife wanted him to go to public school. He learned less then my lesson plan for this year included, and he would typically only have to do core school studies for 2 hours a day, if that. One week he did all of the week's lessons in 3 hours on the first day. So much wasted time and effort in public schools.

Wow, that much? I reckon I could've finished matric in a month if they let me

Because it gives them control

Yes they do. In fact, they love that word so much that they mumble it at night as they're snoring. 😉

Children should be given the option to make more of their own choices regarding their education and what they are taught. We need more education choice. More cirriculum choice. Tax funded education should be more geared toward individualized job training for a good job the child wants, instead of teaching them a bunch of info they forget after the test and never use and is irrelevant to the job they want.

Don't parents usually work though?

@@anyways4438 some are on lockdown. Others like myself has one breadwinner while the partner stays at home.

Its true.

also allot of free time, infact so much my friends even doubt I even do any work lol.

This is precisely my thoughts. This forced quarantine IS a blessing in disguise because it showed me how we are supposed to live. I work from home now and i'm spending every day all day with my family and well, I've said many times that 2020 is the best year of my life.

My teachers almost always paid for private school for their own kids. They never let their kids go to the schools they were working at.

My first thought too.

Prob not but I bet it’s still more effective than most public schools. There are some amazing teachers out there but they have a ton of kids to teach, the ratios are crap and once again while I agree that those who make that choice will tend to do better, I think this will be an eye opener for many parents across the country.

Actually, forced homeschooling gives many choices believe it or not. People now have choices to educational alternatives they would have never considered. and the Free market teaches us people are resourceful.

Better than the make work horseshit the kids are forced into in the classroom. They don't strive to encourage, teachers today and for the last 30+ years seek to bring EVERYONE down to the lowest common denominator to ensure that no one's feelings are hurt. 🙄

I agree but I think it's waking people up to what's important and that there are alternatives to sending your kids off for 7-9 hours a day and hoping for the best.

I went to public school my whole life and I scored a 97. But guess what? Over half of the answers I knew came from working at home and self teaching (interesting RU-vid vids) ( I live on a farm)

I homeschooled my son intermittent through middle school and at 14 he took a test at a community college and started college courses part time, when his friends were graduating high school he had an associates

The military doesn't seem to like home schooled kids. It's wants high school grads. When I was in the Army (c 1970) we had quite a few kids that didn't finish high schools but got a GED. I thought they are good guys.

John Gilmer high school in the 1970s was different. It was a time where school was stricter and the curriculum was more applicable to learning. Also teachers were respected. Today school consists of socializing first, no spelling in the curriculum and in middle school nobody gets held back. You can skate through school and not ever learn how to read or write. That’s why homeschooled kids could pass any test, because they get to learn everything required by the tests on a one on one basis. With our technology, you can really advance a person if you homeschool him. Also homeschool doesn’t necessarily mean never leaving the home. My son took classes at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I had all the freedom of designing his curriculum. Having a job at 14 was part of his curriculum too. He worked at a Deli part time and learned about earning and saving money. That’s something that many kids do not learn anymore. I bet you and I had jobs at 14. I had a penny saver Route at 13. Different times, different kids.

Would be interested in a follow up. Have you deschooled yet from thinking grades are necessary or important? Have you stopped trying to immulate traditiinal school at home? Just curious. It took me a few years to get there, back when I homeschooled my two.

Like most organizations, teachers' unions were originally necessary and good. Like most organizations, they have become controlled by elites and corrupt. Speaking as a public school teacher who homeschools his own kids.

@@grantjohnson5785 I have a theory: Once an organization has accomplished its initial goal, its goal becomes the preservation of the organization.

@@wdtaut5650 Oh, no... even before it accomplishes its initial goal, it becomes focused on self-preservation. And there's some rationality behind that: you simply can't accomplish any other goals if you've been disbanded / destroyed / removed from power. The self-preservation in and of itself isn't evil. The problem is that eventual point where self-preservation supersedes the stated goal... and that's a long, slow creep that no one notices until it's too late. Just ask the Boy Scouts.

@@grantjohnson5785 My example is the March Of Dimes. Not so much of a slow creep (though, I do wonder why they didn't foresee their success would mean their end), as a sudden loss of purpose.

@@wdtaut5650 I never really paid much attention to them, so I'll have to claim complete ignorance of that situation. Care to fill me in, or point me to a worthwhile source?

Tttt..traitor!!!

I used to work in a public school and I noticed many of the teachers were homeschooling their own kids, what does that say...

@@jhomrich89 That they have a "Do as I say not as I do" mentality!?

@@jhomrich89 Well .. Microsoft using Linux for their internal network .. so ...

Now the parents can indoctrinate the kids in whatever they believe, religion, creationism whatever

@@mrnarason That's not indoctrination, that is passing down your values.

@@mrnarason Exactly. They're parents. That's what parents do. They should always be the biggest influence in your life while you're young. Not teachers or anyone else.

@@mrnarason Would you rather a stranger educate your children on the stuff they believe?

Terrorist organization

Why should teachers, public servants, have a union? Especially a union that gives *contributions* to the Democrat Party at the direct expense of its non-Democrat members?

@@IggyTthunders it's a mafia of incompetent crooks

Teachers are monsters and impossible to fire , only met one or two wonderful teachers as a child and they passed away I regret not visiting sooner to thank them , it's something that still bothers me she was my middle school music teacher and I waited too long to visit I kept looking for her, she died within two years of her undisclosed illness, it just heart breaking she was a lovely person and lovely music teacher 💜

Especially when there is regulation, just not at a national level, because education is supposed to be at the purview of the individual states. They've managed to hijack the public education system with funding, and they can't do that with homeschooling.

That's great, but even if your homeschooler didn't go to college, maybe he/she started a business, took up a trade or joined the military, they would still be better off. Even if they had "gaps in their education" and didn't know how to write cursive, they can still contribute to society and be successful. We only put emphasis on such things because the same so called "experts" that indoctrinate children have indoctrinated parents and society into believing they're necessary.

Yep and my son has four of them in his class and he hates it. Ive found out that he didn't want to go to school most of the time bc of the "troublemakers", and because the work is way too easy. This entire time since school has been closed Ive barely had to help him with anything. He pretty much reads the weeks agenda and does it himself. No wonder he doesn't want to return.

Each child is different. As a parent or a personal tutor/teacher you find your child is interested in things such as crafts, or trades and you can specialize a cirriculum to making them learn. This allows for more information to be learned. It's amazing. No wonder homeschooling is so much better

@@Ruldolphmaker Socially Awkward, Anti-Social. No Sports. Parents are too stupid to teach Physics...

Is it the teacher/school that is failing? What about open borders and hoardes of 'English Learners' flooding the classroom?

Is it the teacher/school that is failing? What about open borders and hoardes of 'English Learners' flooding the classroom?

It's worked so well with the public schools, right? LOL

...and the answer was "yes"! I laughed even harder at that!

@@therose1277 Leftists....

Kids could go into group homeschooling, and older more mature kids can stay home alone and do online school or teach themself. End mandatory school, ged and hsd requirements, age limits, minimum wage, and exsessive regs. People should be able to learn how to do a good job they want so they can afford a house and car before 18. For those who and whos parents cant afford it, tax deductible chairty and or the about 180,000dollars spent on k thru 12 per student could pay for it and trash k thru 12 and some of that money could be used to promote more independence and healthy living. Regardless If schools reopen or not, the funding should go to parents to send their child to public, private, charter, religious, or home school, or to a babysitter or day care(they could do online schooling), of their choice or their childs choice. Preferably the child should be able to choose as long as the school they want to attend isnt to far.

It would be great if we did teach them Democratic values. The Founders understood the danger of mob rule and the tyranny of the majority quite well. Students understanding those things would make teaching "representative republic values", and their necessity for a Free people, much easier.

Marshall Gill There’s a fundamental difference in how you and that guest are treating “Democratic values.” You are treating it as something to be warned against, and he was treating it as something to be revered, almost a necessity to be a functioning adult. You’re speaking in the same vein as “let’s teach people what fascism is so they don’t fall prey to it” whereas, to use the same metaphor, he’s saying “we should teach people to be fascists.” I can agree with what you’re saying, but I can’t agree with what he’s saying.

The irony being that according to AMERICAN CIVICS Public schooling is an affront. Like thew abuser gaslights his victim, these people "scream civics and values." While betraying the fundamental American values of a smaller government. 1: Government shouldn't teach values. PARENTS should.

@Judge Dredd If we are going to have State administered indoctrination centers they should teach children about our National values. We are watching our culture die because so many people don't understand the tyranny of the majority, for instance.

HAH, right? I had to de-program my own kid from the (social) BS they were teaching him in school. I think it's US who should be concerned about what THEY teach our kids.

Us: "We would like to see (in advance) the curriculum you're teaching our kids." Them (the Gov't): "Why?"

ya i laughed when he said that. they are like crap we cannot brainwash these kids no more

Precisely! If my kids can outscore/outperform public school kids in a number of school subjects, the one who needs to be answering that question is the public schools. Total scam!

They want them to be proficient in LGBT history instead of actually useful courses like Java or C++

Why yes it is

@Tucson Jim 🤣

Absolutely

@Commander Keen Can't Toss The Stoss!

Phoenix I don't get depressed when I go on extended vacations? :/ also, kids remeber stuff when you tell them the world is going to end or the pres is going to kill us all.

The ignoring of Financial education is done on PURPOSE. They want to raise dependent slaves, not independent thinkers

This is an underappreciated joke.

Professor "Yes, but"

Yes but - - parents might indoctrinate their children! That is called parenting, parents bringing up children with their values- - and guess what - that might not the same values they teach in School and at universities, and homeschooled children are actually doing fine. And that is what bothers the good professor Yes But. Who is acting in the best interest of the child, parents or all the Profeesors Yes Butts?

Good for you Victor, what are are your plans after high school?

Just curious, how did it affect your personal life? Were you socially awkward or did homeschooling have no adverse effect?

I went to public school but over and above that my dad constantly taught me. If he hadn't, I wouldn't know too much.

How was it relating to others and making friends? I'd imagine just fine or better but I'd still like to hear your thoughts.

I don't think public school has helped me at all except for math because I self taught myself for almost every other subject I was in and was at the top of my class for most of them granted I did awful in every science class I was in that didn't have anything to do with Earth and space science because I was not interested in it at all

​@@thecultofcaged See that's the problem. Schools spend so much time forcing you to learn subjects you have no interest in that I feel it starts to remove your drive to learn things. If I'm not interested in the subject in high school, I am sure not going to be getting a job in that field. The school system makes you feel inadequate if you don't excel in all your classes and act like you not being interested in those subjects is just an excuse to be lazy.

Yea because religious parents dont indoctrinate at all huh?

@@CjJohnWynn it's there children not yours.

@@CjJohnWynn - If you believe homeschooling is limited to just religious people, then you have been indoctrinated, just what I don't want for my kids.

@@CjJohnWynn You talk like religious indoctrination is evil

Yeah I've always seen normal homeschooled kids

Show them more proof make them stuttering baffled and really have them meltdown

The teachers who support you can help you take advanced classes

Expose the enemies and win

That's because they felt threatened.

Lawyer up. Threat of legal action makes the public school officials pee themselves.

Not being a dick to you when I say this: Yeah, it's almost like a piece of paper doesn't make you automatically competent; that math isn't magical or mystical at all; that it's actually beautifully objective and reasonably easy to learn when you do so step-by-step. To quote Robert Parr from 'Incredibles 2': Math is math!

@@IggyTthunders The point I was making is this: you don't need to be a professional teacher to get a student or your child to a higher education level than you were able to achieve. The idea that many people have is that they can't teach because they're not a teacher. If you find yourself a good curriculum, teaching your child shouldn't be too difficult.

It's not homeschooling the cause of the failure for many of your students. It is the dysfunctional families were often both parents work to make ends meet.

@@PrimalMiltos There are many possible reasons why homeschooling succeeds...or does not. Are you saying that a family is dysfunctional because both parents work outside the home?

@samuria 86 I was going to respond with the same exact reply except that with adolescents the lack of parental quality time and guidance may bring even bigger problems, those kids interacting with their peers who often also come from dysfunctional families are hardly in the ideal setup.

Melinda Cohea yes, that’s what he’s saying, obviously.

@samuria 86 obviously your dysfunctional upbringing has misled you giving you a dysfunctional view of things.

SO true!
