Since you lump all public schools together, I’ll remind you of that homeschool mother who murdered her five kids and lump you in with her.
Seems fair to me.
“Since you lump all public schools together, I’ll remind you of that homeschool mother who murdered her five kids and lump you in with her.”
Sure display that great public school education of yours.
There are good teachers but not good too many good schools. Most succumb to the bureaucracy that kills all the others. It was very surprising how many ex teachers home school their own children.

If you didn’t catch it, the Principal reduced the suspension to 3 days so the Parents could NOT request a hearing. If a suspension is 10 days or more, Parents have the right to request a hearing. Here the Parents thought they were helping their child by getting the suspension reduced to 3 days, in fact, the Principal was covering her tracks so the Parents couldn’t have a hearing which would have made the incident ‘Public’. Wasn’t that nice of that Principal? Here’s the Superintendent’s email address so you can express your dismay directly to Ms. Martin’s boss.

Well, they wanted to label junior high boys as sexual predators because they participated in butt slapping. What else is new?
There is nothing new under the sun, according to Ecclesiastes.
I remember a lot of boys drew stuff like that back in the day - all kinds of war scenes. They are still trying to make boys girls.
I’m suggesting that everyone here reading about the “aspiring artist” getting suspended for drawing a picture of a “lazer”, should subscribe to “Guns & Ammo”, “American Rifleman” (includes membership in the NRA), “Shotgun News”, or any other magazine having to do with any firearms, and list Payne Jr High’s principal as the recipient of the magazine. It would be very good if she got more than “a few” magazines every month.
QUEEN Creek, get it.
When my junior high social studies class was doing a segment on World War II, somebody brought in a vintage round of ammo. It was a bullet maybe an inch in diameter (you can see I’m not much of a war gun maven, sorry) still in its metal cartridge. The girl who brought it it said she didn’t know if it was live or not. I wondered what would happen if somebody dropped it rear down to the tile floor from about head height, envisioning a loud bang and the bullet going through the ceiling. (No I did not actually TRY that.)
My granddaughter's second grade teacher found out she had been on the rifle range with me yesterday shooting her .22 (and doing darned well at it), and mentioned she is a skeet shooter...go figure.
I drew aircraft carriers and battleships. I guess today they would think it was a REAL 16 in. turret. or a REAL torpedo.

LOL. This is a perfect post. Wouldn’t it have been great if the kid had come up with that excuse when caught: “Oh, no, this isn’t a gun. You’re looking at it all wrong. Turn it this way. You see? It’s a low-cost housing project...”
I meant “that was” a perfect post.

Most kids would do better with one on one tutoring but that isn’t always an option.
And obviously you can’t recommend homeschooling for everyone.
There are certainly those who can’t or won’t do the job. I’m sure you don’t want your local welfare queens homeschooling their kids.
Private schools are not necessarily better than public schools, just different. They have drugs, sex, and whacked out teachers, too.
But when you homeschool some how you become beyond criticism and able to pass out judgment with impunity.
I guess holier than thou would be an apt description of some, if not many, especially on FR. These are the ones who most loudly boast about it, for it isn’t really about their kids, it is about their ability to brag about how much more loving they are than ‘regular’ parents.
So it seems ok to you to generalize but you don’t like it in return, right?
Well, some public school systems suck. Garbage in, garbage out. Same with some private schools. And, yes, some home schools, too.
We were rewarded with a nice blob of very hot steel.But fire doesn't melt steel, does it?
In the WTC case, it wasn't necessary to melt steel to collapse the building. The heat was enough to anneal the steel making it too soft to bear the weight of the building. Once the first floor failed, the cascading weight of the floors falling down collapsed the building with ease.
