Do you home school your children or do they go to public/private school ?

I Homeschool my daughter and we have been at it for 5 yrs now. She is doing 4th and 5th grade this year to make up for the year she was held back ( while in Public School).

Now I don't really have a problem with public/private schools. We homeschool due to medical reasons that the public/private schools were reluctant to even try to deal with. Their answer to my daughter's issues was to put her back a grade and label her 'slow'. We had an incident were my daughter was given a test after we told the school she was not to be tested and then hauled from her 1st grade classroom ( in front of her friends), told she was stupid ( again in front of her friends) and placed back in kindergarten. My daughter lost ALOT of her self-esteem that year.

Yelling at children does NOT help them learn and unless the critisism is done in a constructive way, then you are not going to inspire the student to learn ( this is the reason so many of today's students have issues in school), and our children should not have to be subjected to bullying by Teachers who are there to teach.

Homeschool does not work for everyone, just as public/private school is not for everyone . You are comfortable with your 90% public school happiness and I am 100% happy with homeschool (to each their own).

Don't feel bad for the children who don't have to put up with stuff your son puts up with. They are free to learn at their speed/level/style without any restrictions from the system.

I recognise that for so much children bullies and so on aren't any such huge deal, however it is specific whilst you are the one that's bullied for a decade directly and you have no peers. Also, institution was once method too handy for me (IQ a hundred and fifty+... can not aid it, commonly I desire I have been typical). I was once depressed thoughout so much of my teenage years and nonetheless sometimes battle with despair and anxiousness and such. I customarily had suicidal ideas. I can not name institution a "joyous" revel in, ahem. I truthfully do not understand how I controlled to get via and continue to exist. Depending on in which you reside institution does no longer divulge children to different ethnicities in any respect. We reside in a rural field and ninety eight% of the populace is white, and approximately the identical percent of the children within the regional public institution is white. If I have been to homeschool my children I'd have a lot more time to take them on journeys to Dallas and such (the nearest local town) in which they might truthfully revel in a few variety, so I believe homeschooling could truthfully be well for finding out approximately specific ethnicities whilst in comparison to sending the children to institution. Btw... in my revel in, children from identical socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds generally tend to style businesses in combination in institution. I'm Dutch and the muslims did not combine with the white populace, and a number of the white children the deficient children constantly frolicked with each and every different and the wealthy children with each and every different... there was once little or no blending amongst businesses. Edit: And btw, forget about the folks with the lame feedback approximately spelling. As lengthy as u dont spell liek this, ur speling is cool. ;)

I homeschool my son.

It's great that your son works well in the public school classroom. Mine doesn't, and our local school district is only willing to go so far as medicating him into an absolute stupor. I prefer him to learn, to grow, and to have a childhood, so we homeschool. It works really well for him and he's thriving.

All kids are different; schools aren't one-size-fits-all. They are geared toward the middle ground as far as learning styles and abilities go, but really have nothing to offer kids that don't fit into that middle area. Mine is both highly gifted and dyslexic, he works well as an independent learner or in small groups, and finds the structure and distractions of a large classroom distracting. Public school just isn't a good fit for him, homeschooling is.

He knows how to deal with criticism, and he knows how to deal with bullies. He also knows how to schedule his own time, be resourceful, play and work well with kids of all ages, and research something through for himself. I can't complain either. Our kids have different needs, so we're meeting them differently.

If he's getting a great education and you can't complain, that's great.

My child is getting a great education via homeschooling and I can't complain.

What's your point?

All the best.

We began homeschooling about three years ago. My daughter learns more, has more fun and is much happier.

I home school my daughter. Was there another question?
