Question

What do u think is better school or being home?

Answer 1

to those saying that homeschooling doesn't teach you to deal with the outside world.

and going to school does? oh yeah by keeping you inside the school at all times? ohhhh i see.

Answer 2

I think going to school is better. A child needs to know how to deal with different situations with different types of people and going to school is just it. While being home schooled you are only familiar with your neighborhood and the people in your house. You need to have experience outside of that because after all that is what life is about. You cannot have a child ignore the world as much as many people want them to. It is a real world out there. Let the children experience the world before they get scared of it.

Answer 3

home off course

just see it this way_no waking up so early, and dont spend a lot of time writting and doing boring things like listening to a lot of teachers etc.

Answer 4

School, being at home does not reach you to deal with the outside world.

Answer 5

I like school.  My mom is a ***** !! She wont let me do anytihng and in school i get to see my friends.  School is just a place to see my friends. And to learn... well no one wants to do that c**p.

Answer 6

I think it helps to get a mix so that the student can decide. I was homeschooled and went to public school and enjoyed the social part of high school but learning was much easier when i was at home and i still met great people. There are also alot of homeschooling groups that people join, where you can develop whatever skills people say you dont get when you homeschool. Homeschooling isnt socially restricting as many people think.

Answer 7

Double your pleasure, double your fun: school at home!

(I totally gave away my age just then, didn't I? LOL)

Answer 8

Pros and cons. Always always.

I looove homeschooling though :)

Answer 9

I'm homeschool and like it but the only bad part is that I can't do sports.

Answer 10

stelthyzebra is definately an adult pretending to be a kid. Creepy!

Answer 11

My children like being home, but I think the preference can be different depending on personality.  Home definitely give you more freedom and flexibility.

Answer 12

Home.

Public school kids put up the arguments that home schooling does not teach you to deal with the outside world or there is no socialization. Does that mean that public school kids care more for friends and what is outside of the classroom than they do their education?

Our kids, unlike public school kids, have plenty of friends plus they can do many things on the outside world that public school kids can't do or are too lazy to do.

Drop a public school kid off in the forest or desert and the first thing they'll do is whine about no cell phone signal and nowhere to use mommy's credit card.

Our kids, have been taught to build water stills to locate and collect water in the desert, they have been taught to trap and catch food, to build various shelters, what vegetation to eat.

Our curriculum is so wide ranged here that the public school kids our boys know hate it. Our kids are even learning automotive and diesel at ages 11 and 14.

Ask a public school kid what KGB, NOAA, WD-40, ABM, or KLM means. Our kids know. Ask them where the Missouri river begins. What was General George Crooks Starvation March, who was Dr. Charles Drew, what is the longest river in Russia, when did the Civil War begin and end, who was Quanah Parker, or what was the Volstead Act? Our kids can answer these.

I was watching Jay Walking with Jay Leno. He asked two college kids and one high school kid "Who lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?"

They did not know.

But when Jay asked "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?" they all responded with, "Sponge Bob."

Our children get to experience every possible angle of the outside world from big cities to remote corners of the planet. Public school kids limit themselves to where they party or hang out at. In school they text over a lecture, disrespect a teacher, talk about who was at the party last week, who is the hottest, who has the coolest car, IPod, or IPhone. They think the outside world in the most popular bar or party spot. Schools even limit themselves to education on drug use. They hide the facts. These are the facts we teach, not a fairy tale.

My cousin Trey is a vegetable because of his stupidity of doing drugs. Our children have seen him before over this. We tell our children, "if you do drugs and you don't die or wind up like him, you're going to go to prison and become someone's property."

That is a fact, not a fairy tale.

This is the same with drinking and driving.
