Do you believe it would be better for mothers to homeschool their children instead of public schools?

Answer 1

No i believe its best when kids are taught in the class room by female teachers who dont feed them a bunch of sexist subservant crap!

Answer 2

It depends on the parents. Homeschooling is not regulated in all states. For instance. Louisiana- All a parent has to do is go down and fill out a form saying they want to Home School their child. That's it. No curriculum is given. No follow up is done. They only time that the Child will be tested by the state again is if and when the parent decides to enroll the child back into public schooling. Unfortunately, I knew someone who did this in Louisiana and Her child did not get the education that they deserved. The little girl is 9 years old now and just now starting to read and write. If there was a mandated program that had to be followed I would be all for it. Regular testing by the states and follow up. There are some parents that Home School that do wonderful jobs and their children go off and attend collage. Kudos to them.
Also there needs to be interaction with other children and people so that the child is not so isolated.

Answer 3

Homeschooling is not bad but it really is not better. Yes public schools are crappy in some ways, but children need the interaction. Many times I have seen my friends, who have come form homeschooling, not know how to interact with others when they get out in the real world. Personally, if your child is going to suceed they will find a way. Your child will suceed in public school if they put their minds to it and go beyond what is expected.

Answer 4

I personally think that women aren't smart enough to homeschool a boy and prepare him for later life. Girls may be different though. Since the mother has already learned and experienced the duties of a wife and mother it will be easier for her to teach those things to her daughter so her daughter can grow up to be a good, obedient wife. Also, I don't think they teach enough home economics to girls in public schools these days.
Girls need to be taught how to cook and clean and take care of kids. Girls don't need to know math or science and all they really need reading for is reading labels and recipies when they're cooking.
It should be the mothers responsibility to teach her daughter to take care of the house, family, etc. and that job would be so much easier if the girl didn't go to public school because then her mother will have much more time to devote to making sure her daughter has all the necessary skills she will need to be a good mother and house-wife.
I love baby! You have such great ideas XOXO

Answer 5

I have been in public schools all of my life (just finishing up gr.12 right now), and have known a few homeschooled students. In fact, a few actually joined our class this year after having never gone to school a day in their lives before. I had always thought that homeschooled kids have equal education opportunities, but probably missed out on a proper social development, but I have yet to meet a homeschooler who is actually socially awkward, so I guess that was just an incorrect assumption of mine. It really does depend on the child though. Homeschooled kids do have a tendency to be overly sheltered, so meeting the "real world" can be quite a shock.

Answer 6

In my own personal experience as a student and my parents thinking of homeschooling me at times in my school carreer, I would say that you need to not only base your decision off of your own personal schedule, but off of what you think is best for your child. Some kids are better off at home if they are bullied, have a hard time making friends, and so on because they feel pretty "little" when they are at school sitting by themselves at lunch. I have had that problem and there are times when I deffinentely wish that my parents would have home schooled me. So if your child is not happy at school I would talk to them and ask them what they want. But if your child has a lot of friends and is very happy at school it may be best to leave them in school. Once they are out of a public school it will be hard for them to relocate those friends and have the same relationship.

Answer 7

YES!!!


I am home schooled along with my two brothers. My brother is taking courses at a community college and is on the HONOR ROLL.

It depends how well you are teaching them academically. My mom says that we are above normal students that go to public schools. The one thing is though, kids pay more attention to you. Like one time I was at a softball clinic and one girl asked me what school I went too. I told her I was home schooled, so she asked me what 89 x 9 was. (I was in 5th or 4th grade) So I told her 801. She seemed SURPRISED that I knew the answer quickly. If you're planning on home schooling, let your kids know that some kids might put them to the 'test' like that.

Plus, in 4th grade I wrote an 80 page book, and is in 2 bookstores.

And, someone said that they get no social activity? YEAH RIGHT!!! Have your kids join home schooling groups, sports, etc. THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH!!!

Answer 8

No, because most parents don't have the expertise or knowledge to competently teach all the necessary academic subject areas. Also, mothers will be distracted by other responsibilities around the house such as housecleaning, cooking, and perhaps caring for younger children. The child certainly will not receive the five to six hours of instruction that he/she would in a school.

There are other alternatives to public school besides home schooling, parochial school or another type of private education institution .

Answer 9

I did not homeschool my children, but if I were to do it again and I could afford to stay at home with my children, I would definately homeschool.

People think it's healthy for kids to be socialized in school. What they are blind to is that kids are socialized to the drug culture, and the sex culture way too soon these days and that is done in school.

Answer 10

There's nothing wrong with homeschooling your children. You could possibly get a better education than at a public school.

Answer 11

It depends on the mother. My mother was a great homeschooler to my brother, but I know that there are some that won't teach their children. But I know that schools have their fair share of teachers that don't teach. (I have had some of those kinds of teachers.)
