Secret Santa 2024
A lot of countries have laws saying you need to be in education until a certain age. So you wouldnt be done with school quicker. The quality of teaching in homeschooling is often lower as well as the teacher often goes through a far less scrutinous job application process.

Also unless the child is doing extra curricular activities they will not be socialising with other children, andthey will inevitably be socialising less than an equivalent child at a public school, which can be unhealthy. The chance of a homeschooled child becoming anti social is higher than that of a public school child for this reason

I've found in my personal experience that homeschooled kids are most of the time socially stunted. They don't spend time with their friends from school so they meet them online - pushing them into communities like deviant art and anime subreddits (the social abilities of most these people are needless to mention(typical social outcasts)).
I've been thinking about starting homeschool since I'm very anti-social and I'd like to be able to stay home to do my work and not have to go and be with people I dislike. It'd also be a better way for me to focus since I wouldn't have any friends to hang out with so it'd probably just be me listening to music and doing work all day. The main problem I see with people starting home school after they already did regular school is that they're not used to doing work at home so they tend to slack off and start failing all of their classes requiring them to go back to public school and being really far behind from slacking off.
Plottin' on me! They're plottin' on me!

I would love to been schooled at home from my parents or a personal teacher.
But sadly this is only possible for richer families.
If you got enough money to buy a independent teacher for your kids you're the king.
Otherwise your kids mind is getting oppressed by the school and the teachers forced to do their brain wash shit.

Hard to believe ? Yeah maybe, but please don't send your kids to disney land as well please.
It is a definitve yes for home schooling, the parents should have control over all the stuff that their kids get pumped in to their brain by teachers/television/NWO.

1) Do you not think that the stunting of social capabilities is a strong deterrent from homeschooling?
2) Can you explain the process by which a child's mind is being oppressed by a school.
3) What lies are schools systematically teaching all children (as is inferred by the term "brain washing")?

1) Don't unterstand this one
2) motivated child with no limits and a real high horizont goes first time to school being really exited:
teachers telling you you can't do this and that, you cannot reach this without doing that. The teacher is doing his job staying realistic, which is demotivating and limiting the creativity of each individuals mind. This act is really dangerous to the infinite fantasy of a young child. The hierarchy shit limits the child possibilites first of all.(I am teacher, you are nothing)

3) Lets start with this truth: average schools are not educating individuals, there is always a role model. So you can guess they are programming humans into their ideology.

Would you agree that you find it easier to get along with adults (or people that are more mature than you), rather than other kids your age?

yes I do get along better with adults, but it's mainly because I have much more mature interests than lots of kids my age (my main hobby being computer science). I'm sorry I didn't give more detail into the loony teacher.
I got an ISS (In School Suspension) because I had told the teacher on multiple accounts that I could hear her even when she was whispering from across the room. She took this chance on a timed test and whispered "start" while she was close to me. Then she got pissed and made me sign the ISS Sheet (to show that I was on the list of kids with an ISS) and told me to go to the principal. The principal fired her a month later.

Not everyone becomes anti social from this. But, from experiences of my cousin, and a good friend of mine both being home schooled. He never leaves the house or talks to people in person. He only talks to us online on PS4. Known him since middle school. It definitely has its cons. But for him, he's really smart, but has a really bad lookout on life.

Yeah, I'm an active dude, and I love meeting new people, so this isn't one of my cons ;). I hope your cousin finds a better outlook on life, and that his pillow stays forever cold

Honeslty it depends on the person. Being anti-social isn't always a bad thing either.

Anyways, I think being homeschooled has it's advantages. One of the biggest advantages is probably the fact that you can work on school work at your own pace. This is definitely an advantage if you like to push yourself to get things done, and you could be done with school a lot faster than if you had gone to public school.

yeah definately has a lot of advantages, and I love to get my things done (I just started learning c++, after learning python, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, UNIX shell, and a little bit of SQL) and I just work much better on my own x)

I'm sorry if I come off as rude, but you're completely uneducated in this subject. Sorry to be blunt, but this is one of the worst arguments I've ever heard. Did you even look up dual enrollment? I will be getting my AA in Comp. Science at the same time I graduate high school. Here's a link if you want to be that way. and here's some more just in case you decide to take this shit out of context: 1 2 3

Yeah a lot are, but it never had an effect like that on my or my siblings, because we value spending time with people. Loneliness can be like a crappy cup of coffee sometimes: you can work with it, but you have that empty feeling inside afterwards.

Well there's lots of different things you can do. There are many curriculums you can start out with, along with virtual school. I'd say go for it and try your best, because it's better trying and failing, than not trying and getting absolutely no result.

lol no. My family is lower-middle class and we're barely scraping by. Just find the right courses and shit. and what do you mean by 'independent teacher'? I've been taught by my parents, and the virtual school is basically a virtual classroom with a teacher that teaches all of the classmates.
I do agree that you learn a lot of useless stuff at public schools though. They need to teach more on finances as well, because once you graduate, life will hit you like a bus.

2) I have no fucking idea. Other than the occasional 'beaver boy' or 'four eyes' complement, and the weird teacher, public school was fine. It's just that I work much better in a closed environment and I can learn at my own pace. With the shit I just signed up for I'm going to be super busy for a while.

2) uhhhhhh no. I was the only one that had a bad homeroom teacher. My sister (who is going back into public school soon) loved it and had a great teacher that inspired her to do great things, and told her she could go above the moon and to shoot past the stars. The good teachers don't just say 'I am teacher, you are nothing.', instead, they say 'I have more experience in this, so maybe you can listen to what I can teach you?'

3) Yes they are xD. Just because there's a role model, doesn't mean they aren't teaching. Again. You probably had bad teachers or something.

The hierarchy shit limits the child possibilites first of all.(I am teacher, you are nothing)Oppression refers to unjust or cruel treatment, teaching a child the heights they can reach if they work hard (which is still high, even if it isnt possible for the child to be superman like they wanted to be) is not unjust or cruel, its a fact they need to know.

If a teacher referred to pupils as "nothing" that would be oppressive, but if they did they would be sanctioned, the children are "pupils" or "students" which is not synonymous with nothing.


3) Lets start with this truth: average schools are not educating individuals, there is always a role model. So you can guess they are programming humans into their ideology. [b]Average schools teach their pupils a syllabus, in the case of primary school, this generally includes vital mathematics and english skills that it is important for the children to know. They are educating individuals the same way, yes, but they are still educating individuals. I dont know as much about for other countries but in the UK in high schools, generally the pupils have options for what subjects they take, to the point where students only usually take 3 subjects in their final 2 years of school. It's hard to argue that all the students are being programmed the same way then since they almost all have a different education at the end of it.

Dual enrollment does not imply homeschooling - and homeschooling does not imply dual enrollment, you can be dual enrolled while still in a public school.

I dont know what part of my response you had an issue with, but 1 example of someone being finished quicker - through a method that someone in a public school can also do - is not a disproof of my statement.


Well there's lots of different things you can do. There are many curriculums you can start out with, along with virtual school. I'd say go for it and try your best, because it's better trying and failing, than not trying and getting absolutely no result.

I disagree, my advice to Chara would be to continue getting stuck in in public school if Chara's grades are good, trying and failing (resulting in a significant grade drop) is definitely worse that staying in school and achieving the same grades while continuing to work on social skills. Being anti-social to a point is not an issue, beyond that point it certainly is, I dont know to what point Chara is/thinks he is anti-social but I would argue that working on social skills would be beneficial.

[quote They need to teach more on finances as well, because once you graduate, life will hit you like a bus.[/quote]Im currently at university, me and my flatmates have just signed for a house next year and have been living without any strenuous financial difficulties on an average of about 25/week - I have not recieved more education on finances than the average person and nor have they, I think that going to university or having a job and looking after yourself isnt usually as daunting an experience as it is made out to be

2) I have no fucking idea. Other than the occasional 'beaver boy' or 'four eyes' complement, and the weird teacher, public school was fine.

Kids can be mean, adults can be mean, your boss and co-workers in the future might be mean! Its important to know how to deal with these kinds of situations, a good teacher or principal will make the solution to other kids being mean clear to you.

Although bullying is definitely an issue that occurs commonly in public schools I wouldnt say that that on its own is a reason to take children out of school entirely. Your particular situation with the teacher that got fired may well be different but I dont know enough about it to say anything.

I dont think this is the form of oppression Smaiva was referring to anyway, I think me and him both meant systematic oppression from the school rather than from the other pupils within it
Don't dm me pictures of bowls that you find attractive.
I just wrote whats bad in the school system and suggested unconscious aspects.Not about english, maths or school by itself. In school we can connect with many different people, which is really nice.
Teacher are routine-based here in germany, maybe I am a special person but when I picked another way to reach goals, teachers wanted me to do it the standart way.
The oppression here might not be sourced in the teacher, but when you are not playing their game and stay individual things might be fucked up.
From a objective perspective, after being in different schools, I can see which type of person is in which school.
Doing stuff, surrounded by rules, routines and habits is setting a stereotype.

All i'm really saying here is I quite enjoy homeschooling and it has no real side effects for me. I'm not saying you should take kids out of school for it, but i will be able to get a bachelors degree 2 years before most public schoolers.
