Stupid In America: Why home schooling is the far better option for loving parents.

I can see why homeschooling is appealing. It's more personal and the student can get more one on one with the teacher and there is more time for the teacher to explain things in detail, BUT with homeschooling you don't get the socialization that public schools can offer.

Yea, but that's the whole point of it..

How are they going to interact with people their age if they're in homeschooling?

Probably as the voice of sense and reason, when they must interact with the programmed masses.

My kid gets a different teacher for each subject. That teacher has specialized in that subject. How many parents are good at math, english, chemistry and physics? Not many.

Who says the 'specialist' are so special?

I disagree. What we need more than a swarm of home-schooling which will result in a very biased education is a national school-voucher program that will allow kids of failing schools to attend high-level and safer schools if they and their parents choose to.

Kids learn more when they're in a community of students and when they can feel free to question their teachers without the implications that you must universally approve your parent if they were homeschooling you.

I routinely felt comfortable telling my teachers they were wrong, but if I was home-schooled, I would have felt far less comfortable and probably would have suffered and been less free-thinking as a result.

They're getting a "biased education" now! I say, it's better that the parents do the 'programming' instead of the state/government! At least that way the parents will know what those 'bias' teachings are.

Conditioning or education?

For the last 60 years or so, public education in America, has been intentionally and maliciously geared to make Americans stupid. It has been working to perfection the last 30 years at least!

Private or homeschool is the way to go.

Public school is killing individuality. Individuality fosters innovation. Its what made America great.

That has obviously been the goal.
