How the heck can you homeschool your kids when you can't write a coherent sentence yourself?


These are the words spoken from someone who truly doesn't know a thing about homeschool. Try researching.
Quoting aprilrain4:I think that those who homeschool their children take away social skills, activity skills, making friends, and more.

I had an algebra teacher in college who demystified it for me. She said the part divided by the whole equals percentage. (x/x+y= %) I'm horrible at math but can now do percentages with a great deal of proficiency.
Quoting writingafwife:Quoting Sunnysdmom:
Agreed! I have a college degree and I get math questions from homeschooling parents on how to do percentages. Basic math! Infuriating! I worry for my senior citizen future.
I aced college calculus and I still have a hard time with percentages because I was never taught them in school. Dh thinks its funny it's the only math thing he can do better than me and "it's so simple how can you not get it" some things just don't click for some people

I totally agree. And I did the same thing. My kids are more involed in social activity without the peer pressure in the group I started for them that grew to 268 members!
Also over the years my kids have had more hands on activities and more awesome fields trips through out the year than they EVER did in public school. Plus when I pulled my kids out finally of school the next year on their exams ( yes they have to take exams according to the state) they surpassed their public school peers by 3 grade levels!!! They finally got the one on one teaching they needed instead of being treated like cattle.
Quoting EmmaLeeMaLa:These kind of comments always make me giggle, only because I went to public school my entire life and even kids in public school dont learn these things lol ;) I used to feel the same way until I did homeschool myself and started my own group where we meet up and hang with not only other parents but their children as well. Its a personal choice, and with 1 Autistic son some mom's have to do what is best for their children and not ever will all moms agree on this subject.

Wow, ignorance. I was homeschooled, mostly unschooled actually, get a 1350 on my SATs and was top of my class in college. The majority of what you learn in middle school and high school you honestly do not need. I am proof. I am now in medical school and find that I know how to study better than my peers. It's all about how motivated you are and the development of study skills.
