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)

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'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:

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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

3) What lies are schools systematically teaching all children (as is inferred by the term "brain washing")?
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.

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.
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.
