Just how stupid can school be?

[HeavenSent]

just cause theyre homeschooled doesnt mean you cant hire em tudors. ive been considering this lately now that the new town we moved to is full of tweekers....

Some families homeschool several kids from other families at the same time.

How can you home school your kids unless you are some kind prodigy who is a scholar on every subject. How can you presume to raise a smart kid when you home school it. Do you everything about science, about math, about geography, etc. etc. etc.

Our child has consistantly kept ahead of her peers on her finals. In other words, she's always been a year ahead in her studies of kids her age.
A good teacher doesn't have to know all the answers, just how to find them.
If you've chatted with her online you wouldn't believe you were chatting with a 10 year old.

I think you take great joy in saying it.
I wish I was homeschooled. It's not like she's an introvert/extrovert or abnormal from other kids. I think the only abnormality is that she's not exposed to the undisciplined & thoughtless children or the wackos with some godless agenda. I just don't trust my child in the care of strangers... and I know schools are infested with many things I'd rather be in control of when the time comes for an introduction into sensitive topics. ^-^

Oh..you're one of 'those' parents.

But that's what makes kids, kids.

Sorry to say this, homeschool kids never do well socially.

What about letting them become properly socially adjusted? There's more to school than just school.

Tell me something i haven't heard. There's just as many kids with just as many problems going to public & private schools. "Breakfast Club" is a great example. Our daughter gets her share of "class" during her summercamp with the park district. She's been playing SS since she was 5 & she's doing just fine socially, thank you for your concern. -_-

This is one of the many & major reasons why we homeschool our kid. :annoyed:

I don't think we can criticise this until we know both sides of the story. He may have found the gun, pocketed it and his "turning it in" could have been someone finding it on him.

Yeah, I know. Isn't this the dumbest thing a school can do? Next time a kid at that school finds a weapon they'll either keep it and keep quiet or leave it and let some other disturbed, hostile & crazy kid find it so they can hurt someone.
If my kid went to that school, he/she wouldn't after this BS.
