Ya, your kid may grow up and win spelling bee's. But he will be a social misfit and probably become a unabomber. Or maybe send anthrax through the mail following some pattern in the phone book. If you don't believe me, check this home schooled kid out. He just won the spelling bee but has no idea how to communicate with another human other than his mom.

    Wow. One home school example gone wrong. This must mean we should mandate that all students should be forced to go to public schools. Did you know that home school children will still be associated with a school district and play on a sporting team or in a music group? I think more unabomers come from the children who are ridiculed and teased by their classmates and cannot find compassion or a way to make it stop besides doing something dramatic to cry for help?

    yeah, i am going to have to disagree with you on this... My wifes cousins were home schooled and they are fine, not social misfits. Its all in how they are brought up. Her cousins played sports, where in art clubs and things like that with the schools. The only part of school that they did differently was that they had mom(and sometimes dad) teach them.

    I mean, don't you want to interact with other kids? It cant be fun playing kickball with your mom everyday. How do you play heads up seven up with only 2 people?

    I was home schooled through 4th grade. I think that is about right. You gotta cut the cord at some point and let the kids out into the world. Also, the parents won't be able to teach more than the basics.

    The point of homeschooling is to make sure the kids get a solid foundation when they are young, and their minds aren't being shaped by a bad teacher or a bad classroom situation.

    Home schooling through junior high/high school....bad idea!

    Ya, your kid can solve any algebra problem and spell the entire dictionary but when it comes time to interview for a job, well, it soon appears that he/she was home schooled.

    there are multiple ways to homeschool. Some people don't socialize their kids and the kids are awkward...some get them involved in sports, in the arts etc... I've met just as many whacked out public/private schoolers as I have homeschoolers. According to your philosophy we shouldn't have public schools either b/c they'll grow up to shoot people in school when they feel like they are being picked on...talk about mal-adjustment...sheesh.
    make sure the fortune that you seek...is the fortune that you need

    Home schooling DOES NOT = locking your kid in the basement all day. There are PLENTY of kids that go to public/private schools and have the social intelligence of someone who posts daily threads about Rev Wright.

    I'm gonna go ahead and nominate this again for dumbest fucking thread of the day.
