Reply #227: no it is not mythology by nea. it is obvious observation from a parent in the system. [View All]

i watch the children and classmates as they advance in the school years and i see the students that learn and the ones that dont. i see the parents that are on their kids ass and the parent that is proud they never pick up a book.

i have listened to the homeschoolers tell me there kid is styled to schooling ergo never bored. i dont believe that at all. of course there are times in homeschooling the child would rather do otherwise. now there are a lot of advantages to homeschool. can get a lot more learning in a much shorter, concentrated period.

nobody has stuffed me in any box and i am well informed in homeschool. you try opening your mind a bit to there are all kinds of opportunities for all kinds of people that will work for some and not for all. but none is inherently bad. it is the experience and how it is done to what the result will be.

but of course that is what you are endlessly saying which is why i am challenging you on your inept blanket statements. homeschooling is the only way cause schools are crap, wont recognize children with higher iq and make all kids read at kindergarten level to stay with the very worst reader, of course that is what you are suggesting that your position is superior. you are the one lacking the ability to even be a little flexible enough to understand that public schools do an excellent job for millions of students. not a few, not hundreds, but millions of people have succeeded with public school. are you suggesting that your posts acknowledge this?

i dont believe you are happy for the people whom the systems works since you refuse to even acknowledge them.

i am not opposed to homeschooling. i know people doing it and considered doing myself cause i bought in to the horrors of public. i was educated.... but the poster you are arguing with isnt opposed to homeschooling either. they did it themselves.

both that post and i are arguing your unreasonable and untrue bashing of public. and you say we are not open minded?
