homeschoolmom Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 [quote name='Anomaly' timestamp='1345258869' post='2469516'] KoC. I've got ask. We're you homeschooled? Most people learn as kids on the playground to stop provoking their antagonist and to sometimes suffer in silence when your being picked on. According to your profile, you're 31. Either you have difficulty relating to people, or you have an overblown ego and can't tolerate someone not having a positive opinion of you. Settle down and let it go. Don't let your futile efforts inadvertently create another Legendary Thread. [/quote] [quote name='missionseeker' timestamp='1345312873' post='2469745'] Seriously? Dissing homeschoolers for being unsocialized is so last century. [/quote] [quote name='Nihil Obstat' timestamp='1345319411' post='2469780'] Yeah, that's kinda not razzle dazzle. Especially here. [/quote] Amen.

[/quote]I never said homeschooled kids are unsocialized, but I thought that homeschooled kids didn't usually have daily recess with 300 other kids of various ages on the playground with little to no supervision. I guess I don't know what homeschooling is, I didn't think they would be in that type of social environment.
PhuturePriest Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 [quote name='EmilyAnn' timestamp='1345280443' post='2469644'] This is madness. People are clearly being overly liberal with their props. [/quote] Hey, hey ,hey. I will not tolerate anything "liberal" being identified with my posts. I am conservative both socially and fiscally. None of this trickle down nonsense.

I have never stepped foot in a classroom. So I suppose that gives me the authority to say you are right. I cannot recall the last time three hundred kids were in my backyard. However, recess always rocked for me because we would jump on the trampoline in the backyard. Way better than a jungle gym, and in some ways more risk of serious injury!

But since their parents pay taxes, sometimes they are allowed to participate in extracurricular activities at a public school. Then there's 4-h, FFA, youth tours, essay contest, local academic contests, girls' state and boys' state, homeschooling co-ops, neighborhoods, etc. all of which involve mingling with other kids of various ages. Some of them even involve meeting governors, us senators, and ocassionally the president. When I was public schooled we were not allowed to play with kids in other classes. Didn't really promote socializing.

However, as soon as junior high started I was no longer allowed since the high school doesn't want us smelly peasant home school children on its teams. I love how they complain that we don't socialize enough but when we try they don't let us. Edited August 23, 2012 by FuturePriest387

She said that we'd never be able to go to college. That she would have to pay for my older sister (not any of the rest of us) to go to college so she wouldn't be a failure at life. When we started to be highschoolers and entering and winning contests she calmed down. There are two of us who've graduated from college, one with a semester or so left, and a fourth who is a sophomore. The others are still in highschoolers or elementary. After we went to college, my uncle's wife announced that because there were problems at the public school and they had already tried the private school, she was going to be homeschooling their girls (meaning that every single one of my grandmother's grandchildren would be homeschooled lol). Anyway, at that point she was excited for my cousins! And it's not like we did anything spectacular. We just did what we would have done anyway, you know? So my point is just be patient with them. There's a lot misunderstanding when it comes to homeschooling. They may come around. You never know.

Somehow in smaller towns we have what we of rational thought would call "cliques", and my family isn't in it because we home school. We know the teachers and they do not like us at all for home schooling. Around this area there are a lot of people who do not like home schooling for the alleged problems we have with socializing.

When they pulled the kids to home school them, the school kept them on the record as going to school there so they could get the money for having more kids.
