and people ask me why we dont send our kids to public school

@TradEmily if i wasnt teaching at the school they attend i would be homeschooling

@TradEmily "productive"?

How so?

@Mountainlady16


And they'd be learning English from a person who is ungrammatical, has no idea about punctuation, etc.

More proof:

I wonder how you'd do at science, math, history, other languages, music, art, civics...

@SomeMichGuy why are you abusing and harassing her. What’s it got to do with you?

@SomeMichGuy I actually am licensed to teach elementary education in both Georgia and Tennessee. As far as the other subjects you talk about there are online programs that can assist where I do not feel comfortable. In fact my oldest 3 already take extra classes on weekends and after school on the program outschool. The public schools in our community are considered horribly subpar especially for children who qualify for honors and gifted programs. They are more designed towards kids who will grow up to blue collar not college graduates. My kids would probably be nowhere near as far along in their schoolwork if they were having to sit waiting for those kids with special needs to be catered to.

@TradEmily they are more productive because students don't have to sit waiting for other students to finish when they are homeschoolers. They don't have to be held back because other students need to review a lesson. They are not learning bad habits and behaviors from other students either.

@Mountainlady16 Licensed to teach elementary education; nice!

In which area(s) was your undergraduate work?

@Mountainlady16 The productive question was from me, due to a statement by @TradEmily. Unless you are both the same user...

@SomeMichGuy elementary education is all subjects preschool through 5th here. I have taught toddlers, kindergarten and now primary gifted at our school. I mean to answer you on the productive part when students work more independently they can work faster and move at their pace rather than that of the slowest kid in the class. which is how many public school classes work.

@Mountainlady16 I want her answer to her statement.

Yes, I understand how we still do the 19th-century-style teaching in most of K-5.

I was asking what subject you studied for your bachelor's degree; apparently, you studied elementary education. Is that correct?

@SomeMichGuy yes i did which means I'm qualified to teach all core subjects k through 5. I don't have much experience with public school I did student teach in a public school but that is it. That was quite the eye opener as well. I'm getting a master's degree now I'm doing it in gifted education

@Mountainlady16 Well, your English is very poor for a teacher of either standard or gifted children. So having a certification isn't the same as having knowledge or mastery.

Most states don't handle this well.
