It can be! But for the most part, they probably just end up as a regular adult.One’s “group/clique” is likely full of unproductive losers if formed in public school
Therefore, like organized schooling on the whole, essentially useless and likely counterproductive in the long run
You may very well be right!My experience on the "acclimation with peers" is that it is a complete myth. There are always going to be well-adjusted kids that fit in with their peers, regardless of whether in a public school or homeschool. The opposite is true, too. Awkward kids are going to be awkward no matter the setting. My experience is that most homeschool kids do very well with their peers -- but also are much better at interacting and socializing with adults.
This thread is sad and disturbing. I can't believe how many people live lives completely controlled by fear and paranoia. Buck up, fellas. It's a big world out there but it'll be ok! You don't have to believe every word a scary dork tells you on tv or on the internet! That's silly!
Imagine thinking the organized education system is useful?
Lol. Couldn’t ever be me.
Teachers have checked out/can’t compete, so they’re being warehoused out of the way of productive members of society who pay for everything.
Kids are being warehoused with them so parents can go to work &/or go to the club for lunch.
God, remember when we let her dictated US energy policy? ****ing bananas.

By the way, her crazy ass parents basically never made her go to school...they just let her sit around studying climate change...which well...the climate only had 3 ways to go...up/down/stay the same.
No reason to be sorry.Only regular adults champion this line of thinking as successful
Sorry
She was not really schooled at all from what I understand. She was like, going to "public school" but basically allowed to finish on her own, I am guessing because her parents are insane and she is annoying. Then she started sailing the oceans and telling people that if we used a gas car the world was going to end.So she was homeschooled!? Another shining homeschool success story.
By the way, in the last 5 years...which profession has become more hated
Police or teachers?
It is a close call!
I hate fireman....the ****inig hero worship that they insist on, they don't work at all, does anyone actually die in a fire anymore? Retire with an insane pension after 19 years? **** that.Good question. 🤔
I've never really been a fan of school, or rules being enforced on me. So neither group has ever probably been on my good list. Nothing has changed for me.
i don't necessarily hate teachers or police officers. Just the institutions that drive them.

Work smarter, not harderI hate fireman....the ****inig hero worship that they insist on, they don't work at all, does anyone actually die in a fire anymore? Retire with an insane pension after 19 years? **** that.
I am not Irish!Work smarter, not harder
You hate them because you ain’t them
Yep! Every small town has volunteer and it works out just fine!Return to volunteer only force? The only problem would be acquiring gear. But that could be donated.
As if a red haired guy could get hired on to any FD within a decade of applyingI am not Irish!

I think you are exactly right Tim. We all know, or grew up with kids, who just are naturals at meeting and getting along with all types of kids. On the other hand, there are those that are just awkward, shy, introverted that can really struggle in almost any environment. Some guys, you just meet and immediately like them, others not so much.My experience on the "acclimation with peers" is that it is a complete myth.

Ha...that is true now! **** the wait list, if that is what they call it, is insane now.As if a red haired guy could get hired on to any FD within a decade of applying

They did a great job for year of keeping their secret safe, more power to them. I hate the bastads but If I was a fireman I would take every penny like they are and still ask for more...
A situation made even worse with the deteriation of the economy and society. Many kids continue to fall through the cracks due to parents that have no choice but to work more than one job. They want their kids to succeed, but events have transpired that have interferred with their true intentions. Good, honest, hard working people facing more and more difficult times.Imagine thinking the organized education system is useful?

It is starting...since teachers are quitting and they can't fill spots they are starting to pay more and more. Get ready for the property taxes to spike!Exactly. You should do this in your current position as well, no matter what it is. If you don't take it, they will more than likely waste it.

Myself, I have always been skeptical of people I first meet. Because of my upbringing I always wondered how legit they are. Some of my friends are just really cool dudes. They were when I met them 50 years ago and remain unchanged. Those are guys I really admire. They are what I call "good finders". They always seem to find the good in anyone they encounter.
I met one online here, countrybob. We've had coffee twice. The epitome of a really good guy. Someone I am proud to call my friend.
Best advice I have is don’t be surprised when she gets into the real world and people don’t respect her thoughts because they all came from her dumbass bigot parentI just got an email yesterday from Lincoln public schools, which told me the god awful news that Standing Bear High School will not be taking juniors and seniors.
This means that my daughter would still have to go all the way to southwest. That is just way too far from my home, standing Bear is basically my backyard.
Anyway, due to this development, I will be homeschooling my daughter instead. Any suggestions for the best way to home school? I'm not trying to do the church thing or any of that.
You realize she is autistic. She's like an idiot savant, and I know I'm half right.So she was homeschooled!? Another shining homeschool success story.
They need to pay the teachers a lot more, and the administration a lot less.It is starting...since teachers are quitting and they can't fill spots they are starting to pay more and more. Get ready for the property taxes to spike!![]()
I love coffee, I despise any alcohol, but would be happy to buy you a beer or two or three.I like coffee (and beer). I will be your friend.
Axe out all the ‘social studies’ lib indoctrination, actually focus on math and science… arguably any homeschooled kid of ‘average intelligence’ will be far better prepared for ‘life’ than public-school kids, and you see it every day. And DONE BY NOON! Imagine all of the free time they can use doing things actually constructive…I'm sure there are many nomeschooled people who wrap it up by noon, we're not those people. I could, if you're interested write both our grandsons daily schedules and show you how a serious learning process is in place. EVERY DAY Monday thru Friday begins at 8:00 am. and ends at 2:10 pm, without exception. There are no phony ass 3-4-5 day weekends either. There are no teacher study days off either.
Core classes M-F are Math, Art, Reading, Social Studies, PE, Keyboard. TU-Thur are Meditation, American History, Reading, Spelling, Sign Language, Spanish, Math, Keyboard and integrated subjects on a every other week schedule.
It's a real curriculum.

Someone needs a compound in Idaho.Good question. 🤔

I'll give you a like on this because we agree to a small extent and disagree to a bit larger extent. All in all a good response. I'll give it a non-binding B+. LOLI totally agree about the waste of money and a fat bloated system. 100% agree on that.
Turning out dumb kids? I suppose that is debatable but we have the most modern advanced country in the world, probably that the world has ever seen and we did it in 250 years.
Teachers not making kids feel welcome? Sure, it happens. Just like some parent make their kids feel like shit.
Biggest gossipers? Probably depends on the person/teacher, but I could see it. You should probably hear the shit they don't talk about though!
Burnt out? Yeah, some...but remember there are not many jobs where the worker is dealing with people who at times are actively trying to make their job hard/difficult. I guess I would not say most, but some.
A "real job"? Yes please! Working from home every day sounds amazing! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to go meet my friends out for lunch (my friends that have real jobs) once or twice a week and have a nice 60-90 minute lunch!
The thought of making an appt during the day and just going to it, sounds great! Running to the store during the workday, yes please! Calling in "sick" and not having to make plans for my sub, please, yes please!.
Not having people actively working against me during the day, sounds great to me! Not having to get emails about how so and so needs to be treated a certain way because of XYZ...sign me up!
Lack of vacation time around Xmas, that would suck. I did that when I worked a "real job". Summer off, I would miss that.
Even so, sadly many truckers still use old hwy 2 thru Lincoln instead; CBA to use the beltway. Appears to be a gigantic waste of money ATM.It's not so much the bad traffic as the fact that the bad traffic is a result of such terrible planning over decades. It took what, 30+ years for that south beltway to finally be built. Through farmland.
