Home schooling is a great way to make sure your kids are eaten by sharks.

That depends if on the type of learning plan you choose.

You can have the "Only a Little Jesus" plan, the "Whole Lotta Jesus" plan, or the "MEGA FUCKTONS OF JESUS" plan.


When you teach to the test in homeschooling, you can fill in the gaps with scads of horrible shit.

That's kind of what I was planning...

@Jenne: Yeah, I know socializing is the biggest problem with homeschooling. My cousin homeschools her kids, though (she subscribes to the MEGA FUCKTONS OF JESUS plan, ), but she gets around that by putting all her kids in all sorts of group activities, and church.

I really don't get home schooling until high school.  Except perhaps that the parents doing that can't handle Algebra themselves and finally admit they need help.

Yeah, unfortunately, most "interaction" the Home Schooled get is more Jesercizing, as my husband calls it.  So the worldview is shrunken, but not as badly as those kids who get none, I guess.

Freeky, I suggest public school with assistance at home, truly.

Has to do with graduation standards as well as those for entrance to college.

Yup.

Yes. It's a few years out, in any case.

Yup.

Step one:  Raise and school kid in a loving home environment.

Step two:  Toss newly minted adult into the real world, with above (step 1) as his/her set of major life experiences.

Step three:  Kid moves back home forever, or goes crazy.

Forgot alternate #3:  Kid gets treated like a farm girl at a bike rally.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I was home schooled. Left as soon as I turned 18 (literally within a few weeks) moved to another city, got a job, started college, never looked back.

You're the first one I've met that didn't train wreck at 18-20.  So it's obviously possible, but that's not the way I'd bet.

[Jenne]

Nigel never stated what KIND of home schooling she had.  There's all sorts.  But notice she left and never came back. 

Don't know, there are just better alternatives, imho, to homeschooling unless you need that one-on-one with your kid to get the instruction through to them.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I had the kind where my mom gave me a library card and a bus pass.

I left and never came back because I was 18. It was time to go. I never did understand that whole "moving back in with the parents" thing.

[Jenne]

Me either, though I did it to save on rent before I got married in between backpacking round Yurp and the wedding. (it was 5 mos)
