re: Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Bartholet - Homeschooling should be banned

So my child should go to a school to protect her from abuse? I'm an abuser now? This is news to me. I guess school shootings are safer...
Thanks, left, but I'll go ahead and keep homeschooling my child, and watch her grow up with an ability to think for herself, just like my parents did for me.
And my sister, who's daughter is the same age as mine, and who has signed her daughter up for all sorts of different programs over the years, raves about the intelligence of my daughter. And my niece is plenty smart. But it just goes to show that you don't have to put your kids in school for them to learn.
And you avoid indoctrination at home.

Fact. They are furious they can't indoctrinate more kids.

No worries though for their school. There are a couple "free thinking", "liberal" teachers but it's an incredibly conservative area and they know if they started trying to indoctrinate kids they'd be jobless the next day.
Our school has two sources of main funding. One of those sources is oil royalties. That said, not even the majority conservative faculty tries to indoctrinate the kids. They just try to educate as best they can. Area is so overwhelmingly MAGA that indoctrination is unnecessary.
These kids are born conservative with conservative parents and grandparents, and 90% of them stay conservative. Half of the 10% that defect to the dark side, become conservative again after they graduate college and the real world dick slaps them.

My kids were homeschooled all of their lives. My daughter did well and is now an RN. My son had more of a natural aptitude for study (my daughter has some great talent in artistic areas) and was a National Merit Scholar - had offers from both Harvard and Yale (also MIT and Purdue) for full-ride scholarships.
Mine too. Oldest made a perfect score on the ACT and will enter medical school this fall. (Finished undergrad a year early with a 4.0 GPA)
Youngest made a 32 on the ACT in 9th grade and has a 4.0 GPA.
I don’t know how we have survived without the magic powers of the public school system teachers.

You would be amazed. For every great, educated parent homeschooling because it's best for their child, there is a drug addicted psycho cat mom who is homeschooling because they think the government is spying on them and their children.
SO lets send our children off to government funded schools to be preyed on by the pervert teachers.
You either are overly emotional OR you need to get out more and meet actual addicts. Education is literally the last thing they care about. It's all about the next high. More likely to sell off little Jamalyxlyn's books for drug money than anything.

The fact that you used the term "system" there is telling. Not everything requires a government-run system, Good Citizen.
I took a state standardized test every year (I started home school midway through sixth grade--1985). I never even thought about the test and always scored in the top 1-2%. They were an absolute joke.
Would you want more than that?
Regular visits from some bureaucrat? Video surveillance? Compulsory approved curricula?
The government does such a swimming job with everything, cradle to grave. We definitely should get them involved in this hugely troublesome arena called home school.
Today's home school actually more closely resembles the way educated people educated their kids throughout history, than does the babysitting program we call public school. I think we'll survive.
Did you use critical thinking skills to analyze your post before hitting submit? Or before you upvoted yourself?
Eta: the comments are incredibly based and completely eviscerate her. Of course they are now closed.

This is a good example of New England Puritan values. Cotton Mather isn’t going away unfortunately.

Oh. So that school gets funded differently? The teachers salaries are different? They have different oversight? The schools that are failing miserably get shut down? The answer in 99.5% of the cases is no.

SlowFlow, you weren't aware that our nation is founded on the government's rights??? What, were you homeschooled or something?
Posted on 4/20/20 at 6:55 am to chalmetteowl
Yeah. The landscape is a little different in Louisiana. Missouri has only closed one school district in the last probably twenty years. In general, in the US, there are little to no consequences for being a failing school or teacher. Asking for homeschool accountability when public school teachers unions fight it at every step is deliciously ironic.

The only homeschooled kid I know I know is a Christian kid who owns a golf cart business. Really sharp kid who likes to hunt and already has a kid at 22 years old and house. So while I was fricking my early 20s, he was doing what he was supposed to be.

How many underperforming schools have been closed in Louisiana in, say, 5 years?

She does bring up a few good points. Homeschool is not very regulated. My sister in law started homeschooling her kids because she couldn’t get them to school on time. They really don’t do much as far “schooling” goes.

GFY a-hole!
