Education & Reference - 10 December 2007

You argue constantly that homeschool students are not getting the socialization they need.

First a definition from the Miriam Webster Medical Dictionary of the word "socialization."

"the process by which a human being beginning at infancy acquires the habits, beliefs, and accumulated knowledge of society through education and training for adult status"

Habits instilled through public school:

- Obsession with pop culture
- Government dependency
- Blind acceptance of authority
- Intolerance of those who do not conform
- etc.

Beliefs instilled through public school:
- Moral relativism
- Anti-intellect / anti-academic attitudes
- Promiscuity (even as young or younger than age 12) is OK
- Being the victim of bullies is necessary for growth
- Violence is a fact of life
- Active children (mostly boys) must be subdued
- etc.

Knowledge gained through public school:
- Empirical evidence is clear that public schools are not educating children as well as in previous generations.

I am in the final year of sixth form and im studying englsh language, psychology and sociology. When i started sixth form i hadnt a clue what career i wanted. However, i realize now that i really want to study a course such as zoology or animal biology but entry to the course recquires the study of two sciences at A level which i havent done!
This is the only time i have realized i actually want to do this but i am sitting my exams in january and may.
The only way i could get onto those courses is if instead of going to uni next year, i get my a level in biology then apply again the year after.
Will colleges accept me as i will still only be 18 next year.
Im just really confused at the moment and dont know what to do. I dont know whether tp give up and settle with what iv got or to take the chance and do it and end up doing a course i enjoy which will hopefully give me the career i want.
Sorry for the length of this! Any advice or views will be so much help!

I mean my grades arnt that good but I am pulling it up and probly transfering to another school to have a fresh start and have had decent jobs at companys so far so my resume is decent. How can getting my grades good land me a good paying job? My brother is making alot of money now but his grades are horrible. Do grades really matter too employers?
