Isn't it time that all kids be home schooled via Skype online classes?

[BULLDOG]

Some students need that teacher for motivation and even nurturing. Putting a screen in front of them doesn't mean it has their full attention. Maybe in the later grades. I could see that.

You may be right but I think the system should be implemented regardless allowing parents to opt in if it works for them. As time goes on, I think the program would definitely pick up speed and get more popular as terrorism, pedophilia, drugs, and brainwashing grow. Just in the last ten years the world has changed enormously and NOT for the better. So I think at the very least people should be allowed that option.

With no outside interaction or monitoring. they would certainly be in an ideal position for brainwashing into terrorism. pedophilia, drugs, or anything else their parents might be into. Who would know what was going on? They could turn out a prostitute or suicide bomber before the kid even reached puberty. It's not like there would be concerns about outsiders finding out what as going on. There wouldn't be any outsiders.

Teachers should be well trained to look for that. Aside from that possibly a course taught to kids where they should go to get help if they need it outside their families and homes?

I mean I know of kids going to school now that this is happening to and know they'll probably become drug dealers and prostitutes so that's going to happen regardless whether they're in school or home. If parents are shitty, there really isn't much hope especially since DSS doesn't really do squat about anything even if a kid runs into their office stripped naked screaming rape. They in my opinion are pretty useless and don't give a rat's ass about kids. But in the long run I believe MOST kids would be safer and better off being home schooled via Skype.

Yes, public schools fail terribly for some kids. At least there are honorable people there that see the problems and are dedicated to finding the answers, even if those answers are painfully slow to appear sometimes. Eliminating that system and sending the kids all out for home schooling or some other untried system would just drop the answers we have found, and start with all the problems and no answers. Pulling money from our public schools for untried education schemes is the worst thing we could do.

It's only a matter of time.

Today there are around 2 million kids being home schooled in the US.

That is up from 100,000 in 1975

These kids are way smarter than public schooled kids......

and they stay smarter.....

And they are perfectly normal

That is the problem , most of them are Christians fundies.

We are a problem because we reject you or what?

Yes, everyone with a tribe mentality. Why not just raise robots. They can all talk alike, all think alike, hang out with each other, no one outside the tribe is welcome.

No! Kids need to learn social interaction which can't be learned from that.

They do socially interact, they are involved in athletics, clubs, church groups, etc.

I know plenty of home schooled children, they are happy, well adjusted, not socially awkward and smart as whips

Sure, and I know home schooled kids that don't know how to count change.

Sure you do, that was probably inner city youths.

They send teams to debates, it's so sad watching them struggle, they can't even grasp basic English

No. Suburban kids in a ton with excellent public schools. The parents were just RWNJs who were too lazy, or didn't have the knowledge themselves to teach their kids anything. The bad part is that there is no agency or laws requiring that the kids are being taught anything.

There are standardized tests that evaluate the expected curriculum in the nation. States follow that dictate religiously or their students rank poorly on the tests.

Bullshit

Texas Homeschool Laws » Texas Unschoolers

There are only three requirements to homeschool in Texas:

• The instruction must be bona fide (i.e., not a sham).
• The curriculum must be in visual form (e.g., books, workbooks, video monitor).
• The curriculum must include the five basic subjects of reading, spelling, grammar, mathematics, and good citizenship.

There are no reporting agencies and no testing requirements for homeschoolers. The state of Texas does not regulate homeschoolers once they have been removed from the public school system. If you would like to read more about how unschoolers meet these legal requirements in Texas, please visit our blog category Meeting Legal Requirements.

How many children are graduating without being able to read? Lots when you look at it. Public schools have been a failing money pit when it turns out children that can't read with diplomas just for they could get those fed-bucks. how many children graduate school with the inability to read - Google Search

Due to all the problems facing kids today, I personally think it's clearly time children start learning from home. Let's face it, Skype classrooms are coming at some point. It only makes sense. So why not push to make it happen sooner? Before nay saying this idea, consider the following.

First of all the savings would be enormous. It would cut taxes because no brick and mortar schools would be needed or have to be maintained, it would save on energy costs, no trees would be used to print school books, far less teachers would be needed, no other staff would be needed as well such as administration, cafeteria, and cleaning staff. No nut jobs, terrorists, or pedophiles would be hanging around school yards. No teaching of Islam in the classrooms which liberals are desperately trying to implement nor would they be teaching their ridiculous liberal Marxist ideology of transgender this or that. And there would be no need to buy school buses, pay drivers, purchase fuel, or maintain the vehicles as well!

If parents can't be home to oversee this operation, possibly some of the savings from no longer operating schools and paying all those employees could instead be diverted to companies where parents work as an incentive to set up rooms or areas for employee's kids to take their classes online via Skype. And/or other arrangements could be made such as parents taking turns or day care and libraries could be used. Besides Skype, faxes would be used to transfer homework assignments and tests.

At any rate, I think the benefits of homeschooling would far outweigh that of attending school given the current rising costs of education, terrorism, pedophilia, bullying, bad peer pressure from kids trying to push drugs and sex, and progressive Marxism ideology taught by teachers which is what's being heavily reported these days.

What say you?

Might be coming. NOt quite yet.

Bad shit happens at public schools. No where near as much as would happen without them.

 

[Penelope]

Heck even kids in kindergarten that were in preschool are more advanced than those who were not. They are more outgoing, and more socially accepting of others as a rule.

Plus there is a matter of adult supervision and laziness, yes laziness. They need to be in the "real" world and interact with everyone.

Isn't it time that all kids be home schooled via Skype online classes?

Hell, no. Too few students pay attention -- which is among the most significant reasons they don't master the material being taught -- in class when there's nothing other than the subject matter to which their attention should be directed. Why on Earth anyone would think a kid would be any more attentive when "Skyping" into a class is beyond me. Hell it's college students' are universally sufficiently engaged in class, and they, being adults, are willfully there.

• Capturing students’ attention: An empirical study
  
• Mind wandering and education: from the classroom to online learning
  
• How Classroom Design Affects Student Engagement
  
• Does Active Learning Work? A Review of the Research

The reality is that people, even kids, fully engage on and excel at things that capture their interest. No surprise there, but in the context of education, the reality is that there are scholastic topics s/he must master that aren't all that interesting to the student. That's just the way things are; one isn't going to be enthralled with everything one must do -- be it scholastically or otherwise -- but that doesn't mean one hasn't an obligation to perform well at it.

Hell it's college students' are universally sufficiently engaged in class, and they, being adults, are willfully there.

Correction:
The sentence above should have read:

Hell, it's the same for college students' who are also not universally sufficiently engaged in class, and they, being adults, are willfully there.​

Only if you want your kids to grow up to be anti-social, awkward retards.

Yeah I'm sure you're right. How stupid of me. It would be far better that they become brainwashed by liberal teachers, become drug addicts or sexually active from peer pressure, gunned down, blown up, or raped by pedophiles.

I mean you do realize there are many other ways to socialize kids rather than send them into those situations, right? You know like sports and such?

So, these areas that are diverted, wouldn't they be like schools, only smaller?

If no parent can be home to do this and the kids have to go to the workplace with them, then at the very least they would be nearby if needed. And those areas would only need one adult to supervise just to make sure all students stay at their desks because the teacher online would be interacting as well. And besides that parents should be allowed full access to their son/daughter's online camera and sound at all times allowing them to tune in and/or record their classes and interaction. This would keep teachers from pushing their liberal ideology and keep their focus instead strictly on school subjects and also allow parents to see if their child acts up and needs discipline.

The same should work for other places as well where kids may need to go such as libraries and day cares. Before anyone says something about big brother watching, guess what, cameras are already installed in schools but they're simply used to expose bad behavior of the students, not the faculty. They are also on school buses as well so basically kids are already used to them.

There are no cameras in classrooms. Have a nice day!

You said a lot, but didn't answer the question. A simple yes or no will do.

What question? The smaller classroom one? I think I answered that in spades. There is no simple yes or no. And by the way these are all thoughts I'm coming up with as I go along. I just know that something needs to be done because the status quo no longer works. Our kids are being bullied, becoming vulnerable to shootings and bombings which will only increase, they're being subjected to brainwashing by liberal ideology, and are feeling pressured to cave to drugs and sexual promiscuity. And then there's the nut jobs running around school playgrounds with their zippers down which no doubt is due to internet porn that's becoming far too prevalent as well.

Exaggerate much?

Most students have no issues with all of the bullshit you just laid out there.

Sure, and I know home schooled kids that don't know how to count change.

That's because some parents who supposedly home school really aren't doing the job. This would be done by actual teachers interacting via the internet.

What do people do with no internet access?

Maybe not in public schools but many charter and private schools have them. Our oldest girls school has them in classrooms with students with special needs

Those cameras are all for security. They would be completely useless for instruction.

Charter schools are public schools therefore I doubt that they have cameras in the classroom as that is a violation of federal law. For a students image to be broadcast specific permissions must be received. It's like taking a field trip. Parents must give permission. It is a direct result of those child predators mentioned earlier.
