Homeschooling: Your Views, Please

[Skull Pilot]

I'm just curious. How does a parent without a foreign language skill teach a child a foreign language,

where HS graduation requires credits in a foreign language?

I have nothing against home schooling. If you are a motivated parent and are doing it for the right reasons it is good for the kid and good for the parent.

I start to have problems with it in High School where subjects get more complicated and a student really should be out on his own. Again, I would like to see more situations where it is not an all or nothing situation and the kid can attend certain classes not suited for home schooling

I also laugh at those who hold up home schooling as an answer to our educational problems. The 10% who are qualified and have the time to homeschool will not solve our problems

Good product, but you won't fully learn a language that way. Although, it would probably get you about as far as four years of what they teach in most public schools.

Home schoolers should be licensed in some way, for goodness sake. They can't just say, "Oh, I'm qualified to teach." Wth?

Some people complain about the lack of intelligence in the kids coming out of college today but then it's ok for them to start out being educated by people who simply aren't happy with the amount of religion being introduced in our schools? Ridiculous.

Licensed? By whom? The same government that is ******* up the public schools? Why not require a license to be a parent while you're at it?

Where did you get that 10% figure?

I have nothing against home schooling. If you are a motivated parent and are doing it for the right reasons it is good for the kid and good for the parent.

Who decides what reasons are "right" or not?

I do

Some reasons that are not right

- I need to show everyone that I am a super parent
- I need to make sure my kid is not exposed to "Evolution"
- I need to control every aspect of who my child meets, what they read, what they hear

And my all time favorite....I do not want my child to go to school with "negros"

What a lame response. I would never allow some of these loons to educate my child and I don't believe they are qualified to educate their own. The religious right started this push for homeschooling just as they did the push for everyone being allowed to carry guns everywhere.

They're building bridges to the distant past because this is all they know. It's just another method of indoctrination.

It's a reasonable question based on your comments. Answer, please.

YOU don't believe they are qualified to educate their own children? You who are you again?

I am a renowned Interweb poster

This qualifies me to make pronunciations on a broad range of subjects

Why don't you tell me about yourself and I will tell you whether you are qualified to be a parent or not

Homeschooling: Your Views, Please

That's the name of the thread, idiot, not Homeschooling: Your Views, Please but only if Unkotare agrees with it.

Move along and post your own shit.

 

[Luissa]

I was homeschooled as a child.



There are arguments made for and against it.



Would you please share your views on it here?

I personally don't agree with it, but I feel it should be up to the parent. If someone else wants to homeschool their child that is their business.
