wtf is wrong with High School kids..

[Ginzburgh]

not as much Ginz...see in private schools most kids WANT to be there. On the average no parent is gonna pay private school for a kid that is a total fuckup. A private student knows they can be kicked from school at the drop of a hat. So in all actuality no it does not happen there...if it does it only happens once. You also dont get as much street trash in the school.

Besides it dont happen in the private school right in my neighborhood. Yeah it is a great private school. Amazingly enough the kids dont smart back to the teachers. Then again The teacher can use physical punishment or can actually make the students life a living hell till he/she is voting age. The school has a great name too....it's called HOMESCHOOLING.

Private schools must be different where you are.

Yup me too. I'm not violent by nature but I wouldn't have been able to to just sit there and do nothing while that happened. If I had been able to I would have at least hurt one or all of them as seriously as I could. That's okay they'll end up in jail for a while and get it right in the ass. Rapists get no respect in jail.

none taken Mop...but Homeschooling can be done while the child goes to a 'regualr school'

I was. Most of my learning was away from the classroom. Education and proper child rearing take place away from the government reeducation camps. However, most parents believe the only education and training children get is from school.

Stupid move. I do not just homeschool my children. My children also goto school. If my children were not taught at home as well, my daughter would not be in the accelerated areas she is in now.

oh, I agree 100% with the this form of home schooling I was refering to children that at are 100% home schooled and grow up thinking they are the only person in the world.

I think parents should take 100000000 times more responsiblity in their children

[Mop]

I ahte to get side tracked, but I came across and article the other day in reguards to parents of private school children being worse to deal with because they expect the school to give good grades because they are paying for it.

Sad really.

I'm sending my kid to Exeter when he's 12 and I don't want to see him till he graduates!

I went to private school from grades 6-12, at a school where the average class size was about a dozen kids and the teachers lived on campus. The parents tend to be much more involved in the school's activities (many of them make donations to the school), so the system has nearly zero tolerance for kids' acting up incessantly much less comitting criminal acts. Many kids were not invited back year after year.

Exactly. That's the type of private school Kahar was talking about.

There are also what they call Charter Schools that cater to kids that no other schools want. That was the type of school that the sodomy thing happened at. I'm not implying that all Charter Schools are lax or bad, but some do have a higher percentage of problems.

[kaharthemad]

well homeschooling can also be done certain ways to allow for a child to be educated right. I have known both types of kids..ones you are talking about and ones that were educated properly in a homeschool enviornment.

As for my experiences with homeschooling, I missed about 1 month of school each year. Not due to illnesses but because my mother was educating me. I spent alot of time in museums, memorials, and talking to people who actually lived thru history. I remember one time I was doing a report on World War II. My mother made me talk to 3 veterans at the Vet home that were at the Normandy invasion. I have met people that had serial numbers on their arm from Concentraion camps.

I talked to people that learned perseverance during the great depression, and talked to people that remember the prohibition. I also read more books by the age of 14 then most people do by the time they are 25. Not because I wanted to at first(that came later) but because my mother forced me to. She was a firm believer that education happens at home.

[kaharthemad]

yes, i was educated in a private school as well as a public school. The private school was a christian school in Kansas City. The public schools were scattered thruout the midwest.

[Ginzburgh]

What do you do now Kaharthemad?

[Martrae]

Me.

I had a deal with a small shop in highschool and college so I got my cleats and gloves and bats for free for the most part.

The unfortunate was TPX was their sole bat distributer so I used them, and Asics cleats... ahh i miss my gels = (

[Xaiveir]

TPX makes some great bats. Do not like asics though.

[Mop]

YA I switched back to Mizuno in college for my cleats - I thought they were much more comfortable and I could go with out a pitching toe on them NIke cleats never fit me right in soccer, football or baseball.

No offense I have yet to meet a socialy well wdjusted person from home schooling.

I had a friend who was homeschooled until he was a Freshman in High School. Complete and utter fucking dork lacking the most basic skills in human interaction, but we rigged voting for Prom King his senior year so he won.

Now he is in China or some shit.

Good stuff.

It really depends on the parent. Our neighbors are homeschooling all their kids and they are hands down the most behaved kids on the block. They get a ton of social interaction too. I've lost count of the activities they do. 4h, baseball, swimming, violin, scouts, etc etc etc.

A lot of homeschooling parents are forming co-ops now where they get together with their kids and have each parent take turns teaching subjects they are strong in. It really helps if (as an example) you are really good at math but sucked at literature. This also helps the kids get the social interaction they need.

[Deaus]

*nods* Definitely depends on the parents and how it's approached and handled.

[The Kizzy]

I read an interesting article on home schooling. It made a valid point. When kids are schooled at home, they don't worry about the social aspects that interfere with most kids day to day. Who likes who, or what the newest trendy sneaker is, or boys, or girls, etc etc. I think that home schooling could have its benefits. Although, I do feel that kids need to have some kind of social interaction.

[Deaus]

Aren't those "social aspects that interfere with most kids" part of grown up life as well?

[Donnel]

Yes. Let them deal with them when they are grown up. Not when their very fundamental aspects of their development are happening.
