schools?

Have you seen their paychecks? They do not think that they are better just more tolerant and have more patience than most people. You try teaching (not disciplining, not monitoring, not refereeing, not screaming) 30 young kids - or teenagers.
With homeschooling, kids may learn more in terms of subject matter, but what about social skills, that includes getting along with others and learning how to debate as well.

I'm not sure if they "think they are better than everyone else" that statement makes me wonder if you have met some teachers you didn't like.
I am married into a family with several schoolteachers; 9 of them. The teachers are definitely more qualified to teach school as they took over 4 years of training and have to continue with seminars and additional training to maintain their certification.
Although I have many friends who homeschool their children, I would not consider that type of education for my children. First of all, they need the instruuction from people who are trained in those subjects. Secondly, we feel that it's important for our children to learn social interaction with all types of people and we are willing to devote time to work with our kids on the issues as they come across situations that may be objectionable. For these reasons and so many others, we feel that homeschooling lacks many features that prepare our children to be successful in life, because school is about so much more than just the academics.

There are two problems with most homeschooling situations (not including cooperative ones).
1. The kids miss the development of social skills that they would get from interacting with 20-30 of their peers in a small room for 7 hours every day.
2. No one person is really qualified to teach all subjects. I am qualified (highly) to teach two, but I have absolutely no business trying to teach anyone math, science, music, PE, art, home ec, etc.
Why are you so bitter about teachers? We are really great people who get paid too little to do too much with a tremendous amount of legal liability looming over our heads. You should worship us for our grit and determination.

Question 1, if you think that about your teachers, just wait until you have a BOSS. And your paycheck is going to depend on him.
Question 2, it depends on the parents and the kids. One of our neighbours has had to homeschooled because he was agressive and violent towards other kids.

abode education children is many times extra proper because they get extra one on one attending to understand time. each man or woman i comprehend who changed into abode schooled are very sensible. the only draw back is that homeschooled children are many times extra shy because of a lot less contact with different children. i'd surely recommend abode education for decades and then letting her or him go with even if or not they prefer to proceed being abode schooled or bypass to public college. As for the peer rigidity... no count number what, that is continuously going to be an situation later in existence rather in the course of the teen years, the only component you may do to maintain away from it is education your newborn to maintain away from it and to understand what's accurate and what's incorrect.

I'm starting to get a sense of teacher bashing from you. By all means, we don't want to take any personal responsibility for our actions or inactions- let's blame the teachers instead. Good luck, Mr. Janitor....

My wife is a teacher and I haven't seen her thinking she is better , she will talk to everyone.
But she does worry what people might think of her , so she seems uptight when we are in public.
Home schooling might be alright, but when I was a kid I wouldn't have wanted it.

I don't!
As for your second question I don't know how to answer it since I've never homeschooled my kids.

They don't, necessarily. Sounds like you have some issues. And homeschooling has its pros and cons.

Aren't these two different statements? Oops, I mean questions.
