Why is there such a crappy view on homeschooling ?

@WintaTheAngle they do but many don't want to

@WintaTheAngle Not all teachers have the skill set required to teach children.

Understanding complex subject matter is maybe the least important part of the job.

@WintaTheAngle there are thousands of free online resources

@chickiegirl95 ah the Wikipedia diploma

@WintaTheAngle actually no. Pen foster, community colleges, votech programs, YMCA, local tutors, kahn acadamy, miacadamy, splash and learn, adventure academy

@WintaTheAngle Misplaced sarcasm: How much of your own learning came from direct personal experiment/experience? (As opposed to just reading or being told about it). Nearly everything we 'know' comes as some form of hearsay.

@Really I try so hard to be hands on for exactly that reason. We travel a lot. We learned about national parks and visited them. We plan to do the grand canyon too. I took them through pieces of the trail of tears so they could feel the air. We plan to visit Salem too.we are learning angles by building things

@Really My education was sufficient to earn me an engineering role in the Royal Air Force for 17 years and paid for the house my wife and kids call home.

@WintaTheAngle brit eh.

@MasterLee Yes. Here to break up the monotony. You’re welcome.

@WintaTheAngle well kind of the same old brit opinions so still monotonous

@MasterLee Say again?

@WintaTheAngle well kind of the same old brit opinions so still monotonous

@MasterLee my family moved to the us from France so I don't agree with the standards of education here at all

@MasterLee I know you’re the anti government tinfoil cap guy. Just do your thing and I’ll say oooh and ahhh in all the right places.

@WintaTheAngle thank you for your service.

@chickiegirl95 thus homeschooling

@MasterLee exactly. My kids are working to be bilingual to as I obviously speak both

@MasterLee If you’re talking about Iraq, we should never have been there, but if you’re talking about ISIS you’re very welcome and it and serving along side your countrymen was the most fun I’ve ever had sober.

@WintaTheAngle we go where we are sent

@WintaTheAngle Not sure why you're telling me all this stuff about your education. I had a good education and became a chartered professional engineer. Big deal. My publicly funded, open to everybody social-system high school celebrated its 200th anniversary some years ago and I thought that was quite a big deal.

I don't believe in generalizing about who would or would not benefit from home schooling. I think individual situations vary and are best fitted by individual solutions.

@Really
Because you asked.

@WintaTheAngle Sorry, we don't seem to speak the same language.

@Really <insert education joke here>
