Standard Marxist technique. Call your enemy names and then associate what they do as something for which they should be guilty. Expect more from union teachers.
Someone should tell her that her poorly educated students may call homeschoolers geeky in college, but in a few years theyll be calling them boss.
Well done!
Ya beat me to it, ya bum. That one did just kind of jump right off the page, didn't it?
Another loon who will say/write anything to get folks to submit their children to the knowingly biased and marxist learning environment that is public schooling in the country.
Stick to your guns folks and home school as much as you can. Then, petition your local government to lower or even outright stop collecting property taxes to pay for these marxist indoctrination centers.

Since I was in public schools for half of my schooling, and home school the other, I feel like I should give my point off view on each point:
10. Ludicrous. I am still attending University, and once the other students catch wind that I was home schooled, I am deluged to assist with their papers.
9. This one all depends on how old fashioned you want to go. Most kids were instructed at home before we had government schools.
8. My family were nearly as poor as church mice. I go to school to learn, not to teach others. Is it a failure mode of the government schools, that they must rely on the more enlightened students to teach their peers? Also, please see rebuttal to #10.
7. Government schools; bastions of tolerance. So long as you are a gay cross-dressing pedo minority. Just sayin’.
6. The most arrogant people I have met in my life are public school teachers. I sought direction from my parents in my learning, and answers to my questions from the material that was provided to me.
5. Being an English teacher, I will provide the following noun without a definition: redundancy.
4. MTV Real World? That is your example of real life? Please review fallacy argument “correlation does not imply causation.”
3. I find that the people I went to school with, even almost ten years out, struggle to properly identify with, and hold meaningful conversations with those younger or older than themselves. Surely, this has nothing to do with only learning to socialize around their immediate peers.
2. Perhaps you should brush up a little on choosing a source to support your opinion. Oh, I don’t know, maybe someone who does not use weasel words such as “might”, and “probably” would be more reassuring to your readers.
1. Spoken like a true person stuck in their sophomore year of high school.
Which is all to say that she resents any child being able to escape leftist indoctrination. Really, she thinks children need to be exposed to the homo agenda?
I doubt this teacher teaches English as well as I do.
LOL.
LOL, true.
I didn’t see “Home schooling kids does not yield a better result” on the list.

This person thinks they are a superior teacher by displaying what she thinks are sound arguments. The irony is astounding.
Good thing she doesn’t teach folks how to shoot or they would be pointing the gun at themselves and not the target.
I thought this was written by someone pretending to be anti-homeschooling, covering all the ridiculous arguments we’ve all heard before. These are particularly absurd!
This is where I concluded it's written tongue-in-cheek. Not masterfully so, but about all you can expect from someone with the credentials provided at #6.
This ties right in with the marxist principle of having everyone be equal at the lowest common denominator.
Where is the Barf alert?
If it's that, it's a good impression of a graduate of a teaching college. Still, if we can't decide what it is, I say we give it an F.
Sounds like dem publik edyoucaturs is gittin skerd. They might be onto the fact that if the wealthy middle class is pulling the kids out and doing it at home, perhaps, their failed system is about to be exposed :). I do my last one at home (going into 10th). Much better off. He is not afraid everyday from those peers I am supposed to be socializing him with......
Liberals don’t home school because they are wimps with no authority over their kids. Their kids RULE them!
