It will foster a lot more social awkwardness.

A big part of school is learning how to interact with other people.

NOPE. FUCK that shit. All it does is get in the way.

Aww, who's a socially regressive wittle triggered Pogtard...aww!

Pogo was homeschooled and he's one smart cookie.

I only wish I'd been homeschooled, since I had done absolutely nothing to deserve that twelve years imprisonment. But it is fair to say everything I've learned has been in spite of that prison (certainly including social interaction) not at all because of it. Institutional schooling (school, as in fish, not as in education) is a robot-programming, cookie-cutting, socially poisoning, drone-developing creativity-crushing cesspool where human potential goes to die, decompose and draw metaphorical maggots.

So I guess to get back to the OP topic, if I had (a) child(ren) I'd absolutely want personal hands-on control of their education and would not want them anywhere near such an institution. It would just be cruel.

Seriously, the "school" environment has been quite successful for hundreds of years.

And yes, it does foster healthy interactivity with other people vs. living in a bubble.

Sorry, Pogo! I must be confusing you with someone else who entered public school, encountered issues, parents pulled him out. I thought it was you. But it is unfair to say they taught you nothing. They taught you to read, write and do research. They taught you enough to become a learner.

Traditional high school does by necessity cram the same set of shoes on every student, whether or not they fit. When you've got 20 or more students entering your classroom every hour, you can't give them all the individual attention they could benefit from. I think teachers try. At least the ones that aren't burnt out by it all do. There will always be Pogo's who march to a different drummer and are frustrated by it.

Sorry Bubbles, the school environment hasn't even EXISTED for hundreds of years. That's where incuriosity takes you - to ignorance. Same place the school environment delivers you actually.

That might have been me -- I was pulled out of Catholic school but then transferred into public school. The first one in my family to be so pulled out in fact. Apparently my parents didn't care for what it was doing to me. I found public school to be not much different other than the first year or so was spent sitting around waiting for the lessons to catch up with what I'd already learned and there wasn't a school of penguins walking around beating people. And of course it was full of strangers, so there was that whole trauma all over again.

As for reading, my mother taught me that before I ever went to school, so I guess in that sense we could say I was home schooled though we didn't call it that. Writing and language learning was just something I wanted to do, we lived in a very literate household. And as far as research, no the work environment taught me that, and my own curiosity.

Wrong! Onnkk!
"The concept of grouping students together in a centralized location for learning has existed since Classical antiquity. Formal schools have existed at least since ancient Greece (see Academy), ancient Rome (see Education in Ancient Rome) ancient India (see Gurukul), and ancient China (see History of education in China). The Byzantine Empire had an established schooling system beginning at the primary level. According to Traditions and Encounters, the founding of the primary education system began in 425 AD and.."

School gave you a scaffold to pin more learning on. Yes, I know I dangled a preposition.

You're smarter than average. So was I. I was bored a lot. Learned not to raise my hand like Hermione, because the teachers wanted other kids to answer. I hated the bells and all the fussy rules. Sometimes it DID feel like a prison, especially when I got to high school and the more independently we thought, the more they wanted to control us. But I learned some stuff and I don't deny it. Teaching remedial subjects, it's amazing that some things are still there fifty years later. I've learned a lot more since, granted; hopefully everyone keeps learning all their lives.

That Latinic-grammatical model abhorring dangling prepositions in a different language is a pedantic pretense up with which I will not put, so ---- didn't even notice.

Absolutely agree, learning has no termination point. Prison does though. Once one breaks out of the latter, one is finally free to pursue the former, unencumbered by menial and irrelevant power trips.

This kind of drama-queen horseshit reeks of someone with unresolved issues from their own awkward, insecure childhood. Arrested development in 'mature' adults is embarrassing.

My son is dealing with online classes here in Indiana. Personally I think it makes a lot of sense. The two big knocks are younger students not getting routine and lessons they need in a school environment, and the lack of social contact that makes many home schooled kids awkward. Also, it would be a death blow to sports. My opinion is to have kids go to school through seventh grade, and then for the older kids, make it online. As for sports, I dearly love them, but I don't see why it is federally funded under 'education.' Sports options should be dealt with on a county or city basis. You don't need athletics to learn teamwork and effort. That is a ridiculous excuse for the funding of sports. Keep in mind, my dad was a teacher, and I played football, wrestled and was a swimmer, and I loved them all. I think online teaching for older kids could offer tremendous opportunities. I have found teacher quality declining at a steady rate, mostly because they do not get payed much and education changes every time the wind blows. How much do you think the department of education would fight this?

The current lockdown homeschooling can't be compared with the home schooling program.

The current homeschooling won't allow kids to go outside and play with neighbors, neither to have other activities.

With traditional homeschooling, after classes the children can socialize with neighbors of their age and with other children sharing same activities, like karate classes, music classes, swimming pool, etc.

Teachers take individual strengths and weakness, and varying learning styles into consideration. However, students are part of a class rather than personal ego-soothing sessions. This is not oppression. Do you think these students go out into the world and find jobs with companies that make everything about them individually? Hold their hands and make grilled cheese just like mommy did? There is a real world out there, and nobody gives a shit what sensitive little pogos feeeeeel. You do no one any favors by hiding reality from them.

This is where republicans turn into socialist bitches because many of them rely on public school so both parents can work.

public school is outdated and a huge waste of money. I know all the arguments people make for the social interaction but let’s cut the shit. Brick and mortar and busing all your kids back and forth is a huge cost we all don’t need. Every kid should get a new tablet every year and they should online school. if you want more go to private school.

I agree with your point about school being used as a tool so both parents can work.

But if you think only republicans play that game, you are kidding yourself.

No I didn't say that. But the point is, the minute you attach public schools, all of the sudden Republican voters become very socialist defending public schools.

So for yours your side has been attacking public schools as being a waste of money and they are doing it bad and inefficiently. Well I agree with you. We can no longer afford public schools brick and mortar and buses and gas and faculty who are paid to teach gym and graduate idiots. We can do this online and public school kids should be doing school on a tablet. If you want more go to private. If you can't afford then you shouldn't have had kids.

We are over populated and this will help slow the growth in human bodies. Fewer people having fewer kids. Perfect.

And then my taxes will go down. Pay for your own kids.



And like Boomers today, I know I got good public schooling and affordable college back when I was growing up but we can no longer afford to have it as good as I had it. We have to make cuts. Just don't make cuts to anyone who is 50 or older because I'll be 50 later this year. LOL Everyone younger than me needs to make a sacrifice. Told you our kids would pay for their mistakes. So will you/we. Will you survive it? Sure. You'll just never be able to retire now. Sorry. I will.

We are most certainly NOT "overpopulated."
