That is great! If I had kids I would seriously consider home schooling!
No kids, not least that I know of!
Iâve had no direct experience with it. One of my daughters homeschooled two of her three children in grades 5 thru 8, letting them attend public schools in K-4 and 9-12.
She thought their association with peers in K-4 very important and the experiences of high school something that no child should be denied. (Itâs not possible to participate in orchestra, band or chorus as a homeschooler.)
Each of the two excelled in high school and received college scholarships.
There was no religious subject matter the homeschooling curricula. They got plenty of that from birth thru high school.

I know, but my question was, are there no kids you care about; I didnât mean necessarily your own.

Home schooled is a cheaper option than private schools!
My kids gain so much from being in their school environment, and I know I couldnât come close to giving them what they get. They play the violin (I donât), they are in their respective choirs, every week they have competitive sporting fixtures with other schools (not state schools - donât mix with that sort ), they do school productions. Now academically, I have forgotten much of what they learn and have little knowledge of say computer programming, like Python which was not around when I was at school. As for art and DT, I can forget it. Ditto languages. The only things I have decent memory of is Maths and English. The science labs and equipment are top - how on earth could I recreate any of that at home?

Sure, but Physicshunter said they gave up a salary, which possibly could pay for private school.
Oh ok but comparably speaking home schooling is cheaper of course if you can afford it private school is best! I went to a Catholic school when I was young!
I spent the Better part of today puking my guts out! I will never go to Starbucks again! I bought and ate a Apple strudel, big mistake! Now my perception seems to be in an altered state, and I came to the conclusion when walking to the MTR that there are so many Asians walking around, like ants furiously scurrying on a path as they relentlessly pour out of the station entrance! Drinking water now! Had nothing more to eat
Hoo-ray! We should do the same with the ones âfoundâ in lorries.
Shit one, you should file a report.
I totally agree, and the sooner the better
My, you Yanks have paid very well for one of our prize libtards. We have plenty more you can have!

That is only partially true. It maybe mostly true, but it is not universal.
Both my boys went through âstate schoolingâ; one now teaches maths at a university, the other got out of schooling as quickly as he could after GCSEs.
- the difference? the middle school, and possibly the attitude of the child to schooling.
My youngest went into middle school a happy and willing 9-year-old with reading-age about 4 years ahead of his age-group ⌠he came out unwilling, obstreperous and ill-mannered in some respects. It was down to his teacher in the first year at middle school who also happened to be head of year.
âŚI failed him there.
Home schooling has its positives and negatives
Negatives
- children do not get exposure to dealing with groups of people
- children do not get exposure to other points of view, they become parent-clones
- children have trouble partaking in group sporting events such as rugby, football or whatever because those are not part of the home-schooling prospectus.
- the couple I have met âhave something about themâ which is not alluring.
Positives
- children do not get exposed to episodes of miscreancy where the perpetrators âget away with itâ because there in an ineffective control and discipline system in school; as a result they are more likely to be observant of society rules.
- it is possible to install a work-ethic because the distractions of the witless-others are not present.
- a significant number of the parents view school in the same way as their children, a chore that has to be endured until you are allowed to go and do something else.
I was unable to send my sons to private school. A private day-school gives all the benefits you describe. I went to boarding school. I once used that as a threat on my youngestâŚ
âŚare you on the list maintained by the FBI ??
True, but I have been known to take long naps in the aftermath of an afternoon delight.

We donât need to go have a purge. One wrong disaster and the libs will eat their own within a week. Hurricane Katrina was a perfect example.

I went to state school too, a grammar. The difference is in selective schools there are very few troublemakers. I used to think that grammars were great, but really I see now, they are no match. It is just creaming off the brightest kids and the teaching can progress at a faster pace, but in terms of facilities etc. there is no difference. Nowadays, there is also this Marxist attitude to contend with, which luckily for me started after my time. I assume all state schools would be subject to that. Private school is like private healthcare vs. the NHS. You are a customer rather than a burden.
