Will you prefer to teach your own child from young to 12 instead of public schools?

Question

or 50% home taught, 50% public school (Shorter hours)

Answer 1

The idea behind public schools (in my opinion) is outdated and the materials, for the most part, obsolete. I home schooled my youngest son for 1 semester (the last semester of the eighth grade) and from that he was able to pass the high school equivalency test for a high school diploma. Schools here have become social organizations that do not teach kids what they need to live in todays society. I am a firm advocate for tech schools as well as trade schools. There is entirely too much "labeling" and pigeon-holing of individuals ...they are generating stepford people because they repress free thinkers and penalize originality and daydreaming. Independent thought is a trait I would encourage.

Answer 2

I think it is an either or question. It would be difficult for a student to keep up with the school curriculum if they were absent for home schooling more than 75 % of the time. While I think there is a lot to say for home schooling, I do have some reservations. Schools teach more than the curriculum while I would think that home curriculum would concentrate mainly on the curriculum. In good schools there is a kind of quality control of teaching quality, while in home teaching, I wonder about overall professional development of the teacher.

Answer 3

a lot of people are home schooling their children these days, mostly for security reasons. Unless the parent has the same credentials as a teacher (certified to teach or at the very least have a degree in the right field and is able to teach children specifically) I suggest they don't take on this task. Plus it depends on the state's laws and requirements. If it were me, I would consider doing it at least while they were in gradeschool, and have additional tutoring set up for them on the subjects I didn't know well.

Answer 4

No, I feel that my child will benefit from the socialization of public school as she is an only child. Where I live, we get to choose the school and I researched to find the best one....in my opinion. She starts in the fall and is soooo excited!

Answer 5

School is much better. But I'd choose a famous school for my child, with professional teachers to make sure my child gets the best education. School is best option, because he needs to communicate and be surrounded by kids of his age, not to lock him in his room and bring teachers to teach him at home. He'd become introverted this way, he might learn a lot, but he will face other problems related to his personality. And I want my kid to be happy and to be sociable.

Answer 6

Kids should go to school.
Not for the books and pencils aspect, but for the social aspect.
If they spend their lives at home, they will not function properly as adults because they will not used to being around other people.
Plus, I seriously doubt a mother could teach better than a teacher. Teachers go to school for years to teach.
It's much more than reading out of a book.

Answer 7

i've been home schooled an to private school. i highly recomend homeschooling. a lot of things just seemed so off an upside down in regular school. i wus frustrated weth a system i belive to be flawed an abused. just make sure ur kid has activites that involve other kids there age so they cen meet friends ♥ but i thenk homeschooling is better for self esteem, love of learning, grade level, just so much better having experianced both

edit: be careful who socializes weth ur kids, it shapes who they are. im lucky to have only encountered peer pressure in a handful of situations as a child, but i could tell the kids i went to school weth knew it well, an submitted to it. also i dunt want my second grader asking me what oral sex is cause "some kid at school" told them something! ♥

Answer 8

I'd rather teach them myself, because i am 12 and i go to a public school - It's really horrible. I wouldn't want my child to suffer like i have.

Answer 9

No way, there are valuable lessons to be learned in public schools which are not taught in the class room.

Answer 10

by any definition you want to apply, the Boston Tea social gathering grow to be an act of terrorism. in basic terms because those adult adult males were on "our" area would not change what it grow to be--and genuinely, it truly is what it grow to be meant to be. examine the 2d modification, which starts, "A properly regulated armed forces, being had to the protection of a free state..." After that comes the "proper to endure palms" area that i'm useful is your famous. If a textbook is giving examples of passages from the Quran, it isn't inevitably an endorsement; it truly is in basic terms declaring what the e book says. what's incorrect with the "more beneficial time-honored of residing" answer? i imagine the area is you're literally not very vivid and characteristic very unfavorable interpreting comprehension skills. you've were given your underclothes in a collection over belongings you do not extremely understand.
