what do you think about home education?
i hope it stops,, and every child has to come to school... but only because someone left my school to be home-tutored!!
lol,,,, but i think children should come to school anyway.
all opinions please... thankssss. xx
I hate the idea, School teaches a lot more than the academic subjects, it teaches you how to talk to people, teaches you respect and status. You learn how to communicate and most of all you have fun.
I know some people have wreckless schools or are bullied, but you learn so much from everything. Even the basics like waking up early and working all day, teaches you the basics of attendance and punctuation.

Not at my school they didn't, pupils had authority over the teachers and it was only a good day if they actually taught you academic subjects :joker:
If people want home schooled then thats up to them. I don't get why people say it means they won't get a social life though.

I think the worst thing about being homeschooled is that you would get so lonely,you'd hardly ever leave your house! I was bullied in school and it was pretty **** sometimes but you need school to grow up!

It does though. Yeah some academics arent up to par, but, if you feel that way, you can always tutor your kids at home from time to time.
The thing is nowadays, its bad enough that kids spend the majority of their time socialising on the internet, so there is already that cyber experience taking away from real life experience. If you want to add home schooling to that, those kids wont know what to do with themselves, in a a social situation.

It's the crappiest thing every imo!
You would have next to no friends, have no social life, hardly ever leave the house, and grow up a very unconfident person who isn't all the smart because of it all!
I mean, teachers have degrees in the their subjects, and have been studying them years, and know the courses inside out... how can your parents/1 tutor compensate this? Imo, they can't! :)

I disagree with it really, especially during secondary school.
You can't make friends as well, you pick up certain social skills when you are at school..
Which you will miss out on if you dont go.
I think it makes it harder when you have to start college and work.
Why would you have next to no friends? :conf:
I don't know about you but from being 3-16 all my friends came from school or one or two lived on my street.

Mine were a mix but mainly from home. If your only friends are from school then you've got a bit of a social problem.

Wow!! totally agree!! x

Why?
I was at school for majority of the time, I had friends in my class and I always met up with them and hung out with them. Doesn't seem like a social problem too me? Quite the opposite.
Obviously when I reached college I branched out into even more people, but at school you don't think about it, you naturally hang out with people you see the most.
You make your first friends through school - so unless you did things outwith school, like Cubs/Brownies or a sport, you would find it hard to make friends, I think.

I just think its daft if all your friends are from the same place and in the same circle. Its better to have wider groups of friends and I don't think its very sociable to just keep with the same people all the time.

Home Education is something that you can't say is bad unless you actually tried it.
and you obviously know nothing about it if you think you have no social life or friends:/
Courtney what you said has pissed me off big time. why the hell should every kid have to go to school?
Btw i am homeSchooled and i do have a social life-_-

It's not facts, it's just your experience of homeschooling.

I suppose its like this: If your child is home schooled, its the responsibility of the parents to make sure that the children socialise. WHich means they need to be involved in activities, with kids their age, in sports, or other activities, like going to summer camp and stuff. Or just in the community itself. So if the child is able to do all those things, I dont think its a problem.
As far as I know, there is one good thing about home school kids, is, they dont suffer from peer pressure. So they tend to be less likely to get in trouble with drugs, alcohol, sex etc.....
So there, I hope thats better for Twilight!

Yeah i Agree with that Wildcat.
They do need to be put into doing things outside education especially sports..
If you think about it kids run around and play a lot during playtime, lunch time and p.e class. and then some do things after school.
Im sure its easy for someone who is home schooled who doesn't take part in any activities outside to gain quite a bit of weight.
Obviously it does depend on the diet but generally someone isnt going to be eating an extra healthy diet at that sort of age.

It mostly depends on the circumstances but if everything is proper, then I see no problem with it.
By proper I mean, the parent having a teaching degree or something of that sort, the child going to some sort of a club to fill in the social side and a lot of neighbourhoods in America are surrounded by kids so the child would naturally make friends with them.
But I do agree that school helps to learn manners and general day-to-day basics in life.

To save quoting the world and his wife, the majority of my friends are from school... yes, they live in my village, but if I was home schooled, and they went to school, they would be SO much closer with each other than I would be with them... that's my personal opinion, like it or lump it :)

I had the option of getting homeschooled but chose to go to school.
In my opinion it was the best choice I ever made, I had the best last couple of years in school and made friends for life...had experiences that were amazing(A Ski Trip). I think it depends on your circumstances though....each to their own...
