No one said that homeschooled kids aren’t smart, but they are definitely socially retarded and don’t get to experience the “socialization” that everyone else does, even including the bad. They get out into the real world and you can see them from a mile away. I remember when my son played athletics as a kid and even into high school, when we had a Homeschooled kid on the team he would never fit in with the other kids. That’s GOT to be difficult on a kid, emotionally and mentally.

What are the thoughts on online high school - like Penn Foster or Acellus or the like?

Always.
The guys who wrote the Federalist papers were educated before public schools.
The guys who write rap songs are educated in public schools.
But in both cases, the parents were the ultimate deciding factor in whether their children would be properly educated.

Wendy, I'm just glad you didn't try to frick her.

I thought my sister and her husband were crazy for home-schooling their kids in the 00s. They both went to a private school when the older son was in high school and the younger in junior high. Both were straight-A students, the younger one used to get frustrated because his classmates couldn't seem to understand that getting classwork done during free time THEN fricking off was a lot better than fricking off first then trying to gear back up to get things done (read: poor time-management skills because that isn't taught in most schools).
Both kids have blown through college and proven me wrong about their choice to home school.

This is the OT, a lot of these people still watch Fox 'news' and spew it as the gospel. Lots of underdeveloped minds on this site.

Public teachers are fighting a losing battle. They have no help from parents. And most money is spent on non necessary administration spending.
My wife is an elementary school teacher and teaches at the school I went to as a kid. When I was there, the admin consisted of a principal, a vice principal, and secretary. Now, they have like a dozen admin people on staff, maybe more. I've lost count at this point. That doesn't even count all of the other teaching assistants or whatever they're called that work one-on-one with kids with IEPs, which is like 25% of the students these days.

Yep. Go look at your local school system. There are dozens of unnecessary positions that have no impact on student progress.
Fayette county in Lexington has over 100 central office employees making over $100k and that equals a high pension too.
Completely unnecessary to have that many. Wasting tax dollars that could be spent on atudents.

Teachers half arse lessons and then make 70% of the grade based off homework. Most parents dont even ask their kids if they have homework much less make sure its done.

No such thing as a good government school.

This sounds like all of the BR public schools except for BRMHS. BRMHS is the only reason my older kid isn't in private school. My younger one is in self-contained gifted, where she is the teacher's "math whiz", and in talented art and talented drama, so the riff raff is kept away.

I think most schools are used as a daycare so both parents can work. Our education system is broken. Why put in the work when they know they won’t fail.

excellent summary. the final point effectively renders further discussion unnecessary. Posted on 11/12/25 at 4:18 pm to Clames

At some point in the last 40 years, our public education system decided to neglect the best students in favor of the worst.

There's a whole lot of hit dogs hollering on this thread, and every one of them are squealing with anecdotes and, "I reckons" replies after being severely triggered.
