Home school ping!

Vic, looks like another show to not watch, (not that we watch that much TV anyway).

Tx, you might want to add this to the home school ping list.

A little over one hundred years ago farmers burned down school buildings when compulsory attendance laws were introduced in their states. In Barnstable County, Massachusetts for example, the militia was called in to keep order as the last county in the state fell to compulsory attendance legislation in 1885.

Today, people can't imagine life without compulsory schooling, although homeschooling is shedding its "extremist" image.

don't watch TV anyway. So it figures TV would try to stab me in the back...

We should probably arrange a boycott of any sponsors of this show...

A great deal of the socialization a kid gets in a public school environment is negative. It is a lot easier to add selective social experiences that are positive than it is to deprogram a kid who has had repeated negative experiences.

I am not into criticizing people who choose public education for their kids. Heck, with the amount of money the gov't takes from a family for the purpose of education, it's pretty difficult to scrape up the additional money required to home or privately educate your own children (although home schooling is not that expensive if you do not count the one parent income factor). But it is great to have the freedom to choose home schooling instead of the one-size-fits-all plan the gov't forces us to fund.

I am sick and tired of people "claiming" home schooled children can't communicate with children their own age. YES they can.
