jmjtina Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 [quote name='homeschoolmom' date='Jul 20 2005, 06:40 AM']Wow... I think that this is such a broad question.... In fact, everytime it comes up I cringe... Are there some homeschools that are better than some public schools? Yes. Are there some public schools that are better than some homeschools? Yes. Are public schools in general better at some things than homeschools? Sure. Are homeschools better at some things than public schools? Yep. So, there you go.

goldenchild17 Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 [quote name='homeschoolmom' date='Jul 20 2005, 06:29 PM']Honestly, socialization is not a problem-- really. Unless you live in a very, very remote area, it's just not an issue. [right][snapback]651690[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Yeah, not sure why that seems to be such a common theme against it... Anyways, I have to say that I believe homeschooling is overall a better way for a child to get his/her education.
goldenchild17 Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 (edited) [quote name='homeschoolmom' date='Aug 4 2005, 06:46 AM']"Oh, hi. You're new here at the company? And you're... 22? Oh okay... well, the 22 year olds are over in that cubical section over there. So, go take one of those. Be careful of the 27 year old section-- they can be vicious to new people. Whatever they say to you, just ignore them. If you finish your project before 5:00, there are some extra credit projects to keep you busy until it's time to go home-- like find the company slogan in a word find, etc. If you need to go to the lavatory, please raise your hand really high (it's hard to see over the cubical) and if no one else has left to go, you can be excused to use it. Or you can wait until the bathroom break time at 11. At 12:00 we will all line up and march down to the cafeteria. Whatever work you don't finish today you will need to take home and work on until you are done. Your paycheck will come once a quarter. Enjoy your stay.

homeschoolmom Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 [quote name='zwergel88' date='Aug 4 2005, 08:13 AM']I agree, I think public schools are good because aside from the fact that you get a great education, [b]they do teach kids how to interact with each other, and how to cooperate. [/b] In a public school you are exposed to kids who may be very different from you but you still have to learn how to deal with them, which is how life is anyway. [right][snapback]671490[/snapback][/right] [/quote] No, they don't. They don't [i]teach[/i] social skills or how to interact with others. Children (no matter where they are educated) learn [i]how[/i] to deal with others at home (either explicitly or implicitly) well before they are school age and continue learning as their parents model it for them. They get to practice what they learn at school. But homeschoolers get practice at co-op, church, classes etc. What I find funny is that when I was in school, we were told "You're here to learn. You're NOT here to socialize." Now everyone claims that children [i]need[/i] to go to school to socialize. I guess the focus of school has changed since I was there...

[right][snapback]672991[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Because I think that the things that homeschooling is better at are more important than the things that public schools are better at.
sweetpea316 Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 I've only ever been to public school... so I don't really have much to say on this topic.
Dudette Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 homeschooling. I have been to a boarding school and it was a vocational one so that was awesome. But, majority public scools nowadays are horrid. I would type up a really long post but uh, I can't right now. What i can do, is show you my 8 page research report on the differences between homeschooling and public schooling. heh.
