Exhibit A: Some school in California (forget where) will make mandatory teaching to Kindergartners same-sex marriage. No opt-out allowed.
ah... what a lame-ass...
and I’ll provide rebuttal to each “point” later.
Her points are stupid and I only read the first two.
The one that jumps out the most is the point where the “humble teacher” calls homeschoolers “arrogant”,
then procedes to proclaim her credentials - one of the signs of pride and arrogance is the need to do so.
The only major problem I see with home schooling is that the kids don’t have the chance to be brain washed by liberal (facist) teaching authority. Not only that, they get to eat good food at home, don’t get caught up in gang fights, taken to abortion clinics and the list goes on. They are sure missing out on a lot aren’t they?
This is exactly right. Well socialized illiterates with the illusion if self esteem is MUCH better than academically accomplished children with real self esteem. /sarc
This is too lame to bother with, the writer should be embarrassed, not interesting, not funny, not insightful, nothing, a total waste of time.
This woman is a teacher?
Stats refute this guy’s zany ideas. Not only are they better educated, homeschoolers show up more socially well-adjusted adjusted than their brain-washed public-school counterparts.
Far as I could get.
Some of the concerns about "socialization" may be legitimate, but I'd also point out that the picture this author paints of parents educating their kids in the home is not necessarily typical of what we know as "home-schooling" these days.
If the author of this nonsense were truthful, he/she would just come out and admit that the #1 item on this list is that home-schooling parents expose many "professional educators" in this country as complete frauds.
I would put a 17 year old homeschooler up against this lame-o and all her teaching creds,
and watch the HSer SHRED her in a debate.
I’d pay money.
This must be in pre-response to the Glen Beck story about the increase in homeschooling.
there is a certain tipping point where so many people will be home schooling that the registered voters who home school will have an influencial enough vote on the need to tapayer support public schools.
Most of the author’s reasons are not just silly they are neurotic.
Hmmmm...my 21 yr old home schooler had straight As in college and was voted most popular student of the year...
seems a bit jealous...
For all of her hate-filled language and INTOLERANT attitude (but I’mm not an agnostic!) I notice that this multi-public schooled, many-degreed “English” teacher cannot explain why homeschooled children outperform her dumbed-dowm multi-cultural public school students - who get billions more dollars wasted on their propaganda every month than homeschooling spends in a decade.
Her “arguments” fall back on insults.
Double masters degrees and this doofus still can't master the use of me vs. I???
Jesse is a douchebag. Modern public schools are only jobs programs.
