My home schooled son attended the local public school for drivers education. It was an after school program that required about 3 weeks of classroom time followed by another 3 of driving practice. After he completed the classes I asked him if he had any second thoughts about home school. His emphatic answer was “NO, the classroom part was a waste of time. If the students had followed directions, sat down the first time they were asked, read their homework assignments and paid attention to what the instructor said so that he did not have to keep repeating it we could have finished in about 45 minutes a day instead of the 2 hours we were there.” He was disgusted with the behavior he observed.

The days my homeschool son goes to the local high school, I pick him up at 845, after his only class. He is so happy to leave the school. The first day he was out waiting for me about four or five adults came out to ask him what he was doing outside. He was frustrated and asked me why they kept asking him why he was outside. I told him that they were concerned that one of the inmates might be escaping. He laughed but did say that if it was up to the kids, the staff wouldnt have jobs.
I thought that was great insight.
