Homeschooling? Are you fucking kidding me.. Instead of letting your daughter receive enjoyable experience out of studies by communicating with her peers and meeting new people, you lock her up at home in fear that she might learn something inappropriate for her age (such as sex education ). Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I understood by reading the majority of her posts. Give me a fucking break man. Your daughter might grow to be socially challenged and you will live to regret it. Let it be a natural way of learning, in a regular environment along with her peers, instead of giving her a book and sticking her nose into it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not preaching and I don't care one bit what happens to your daughter. Oh, and this reminded me of one of George Carlin's videos (fuck the children) where he makes fun of overprotective parents

Our sex ed class or whatever you call it was hilarious. It was good stuff.

How old were you? What grade?

[Galleleo]

12 I think, 13 maybe.. somewhere around there. Can't give you a grade cause it works way different over here.

Well i'm definately going to introduce her to sexuality this year. I'm hoping to break the ice with the beginning of that movie, "Look Who's Talking". It's an excellent animation of the fertilization process. If any finds a link to that scene please post it. thanks

Didn't read the whole topic, excuse me!

But who is teaching your kids HS, you or your wife? And how old is your daughter now, 13-14 years old??
Isn't it expensive, you or your wife has a job but the other one doesn't and then you have to feed your child.

I'm not really into this home schooling stuff cause really you need school to develop your social abilities.

i think our sex ed started in 7th grade or so. but didnt get into any real detail till later.

then in 8th grade, the girls and guys were split up and asked whatever questions they wanted by writing them on pieces of paper. all passed them to the front, and then they were read and answered by the teacher. i still remember that with hilarity. one of the best "does a rubber band and a plastic bag work just as well?" on top of others.

i dont know where i was goin with this or what it had to do wiht the topic

congrats on the high test scores. i think epi had the right idea with how the standardized tests work or something.

My wife & my mother. She's 10. It's about $500 now & increases about 50-$100 each year. & atm just me that earns the cabbage.

Social skills develope by being social. She gets that & she'll get more as she gets older and ventures out more & further from home.

I read in a psych-mag that homeschooled kids perform better when they enter normal education. Apperently homeschooling is fine till the age of 11-12. Afterwards a child needs to be able to develop oneself on it's own as well.

LOL I remember some of the questions too. Like, "Can the sperm swim off the belly or the pubic area into vagina and still get the girl pregnant?"

Thnx,
I think Epi is right too with her hypothesis

Edit:> she still has her summer school with the Park District, which last most of the summer.

But where does she get to be social if she doesn't go to school? I mean it's the most natural way to get to know people.

We live like a block away from a very popular Park District where she gets plenty of social contact playing with the kids there.

Moreover, she's gets her interaction from the kids in the neighborhood and with hundreds of kids in groups with her summercamp.. which last most of the summer.

My sex education really was a joke. In health class, we learned about the reproductive systems.

In our sex ed class, we learned about avoiding drugs and alcohol because they can ruin your body. We learned about avoiding risks that can hurt us.

The sad thing is, I'm not even kidding.

We take "sex ed" in 8th grade and 9th grade. Both times it's a complete joke where they just say "Don't have sex. Condoms fail 100% of the time. Now to the bigger issue - alcohol damages your liver!"

We never actually learned about sex.
