There's a little something called "separation of church and state", tax money is being spent for every minute a child is in public school. This time should not be allotted for religious activities. If parents want their children schooled on religion they should read the bible and pray at home and or attend sunday school.Whats next? Would you want people bowing down to bless Mohamed ten times a day in public school? I know I wouldn't.
Wow, where did you grow up? You're, if you didn't lie in your profile, way younger than me and I was in the last generation that actually prayed in school.
I'm for anything that keep wemans and rug rats off the street and out of this man's way every day.keep them home where they belong.
Without public school (or private, just not home schooling) you'll have poor social skills (or none at all).
School is more important for learning how to coexist in society, getting along, etc....
I like it that wyoming has standards that the home school kids must meet. I think thats important to making sure parents arnt slacking (I know this is a matter of perspective but I have seen some parents do a really poor job).. I think another thing that would be great if states would allow these kids to play sports in highschools as long as they accedimically are at par or better with students who are allowed to play.
I know in my home town that kids had to be in so many classes to participate in school activities, I think that sucks because kids in school or not everyone pays taxes that provide schooling and school programs schould be availbe for those homeschooled...
i feel that it dumbs down kids for the simple fact that they are FORCED to take classes that are pointless and have no way shape or form on life in general. why are there not more career orientated classes these days? and why are the few classes that are career classes getting shut down? its not okay. the school system is set up and run like a prison also. you have to be in class at a certain time, you have to ask to use the rest room, you have a certain amount of time to shuffle between classes, if your tardy your in trouble, its enclosed in a giant ass fence that you cant leave during hours or you get a cut, suspended and a ton of detention, i could go on and on. there is a consequence for everything.

Being forced to take classes that you see as pointless and having to follow rules (e.g. schedules, etc..) you are learning skill that are required to be a responsible person in the real world. I have an engineering degree and I use very little of my specific information that I studied on a day to day basis, but what I learned was how to solve problems. General classes don't always seem productive, but looking back they do make a more well rounded person.Being on time for work is expected for most jobs so the rules at school are beginning for forming responsible habits.
i could go on and on. there is a consequence for everything. why is that?
so im not going to go through and read all this. but from the title i will share how i feel about public schools seeing as i just got out at the end of the 07 school year...the public school system is not set up for success. i feel that it dumbs down kids for the simple fact that they are FORCED to take classes that are pointless and have no way shape or form on life in general. why are there not more career orientated classes these days? and why are the few classes that are career classes getting shut down? its not okay. the school system is set up and run like a prison also. you have to be in class at a certain time, you have to ask to use the rest room, you have a certain amount of time to shuffle between classes, if your tardy your in trouble, its enclosed in a giant ass fence that you cant leave during hours or you get a cut, suspended and a ton of detention, i could go on and on. there is a consequence for everything. why is that?i would have preferred to go to home school because i would have been able to work and make money while going to school. yeah i would still need to take the waste of time classes, but at least during the day im am using my time to do something productive and not just sit in class and learn how to cheat better on tests and learn how to get around the rules easier
well you basically just shut me down.. touchewhat you said made a lot of sense and made me think back. that pretty much took out 95% of the two legs i was standing on out (if that makes sense)... anywaysgood write up
...I honestly believe that most parents arnt capable of giving the education nessisary. The ones I have known who are successfull their parents have found ways for them to socialize often. And parents that are dedicated enough to give dirrection and teach!...
I would have to disagree with the first highlight. Most parents ARE educated and intelligent enough to educate their children. At some point the Parent will reach the limit of their education, forcing to choose between letting someone else continue, or, (and this would do nothing but better the child, parent AND society) learn the subject matter they are having to instruct the child in.Now, the MAIN problem with most parents and homeschooling, is the second highlight. Most parents do not have the dedication required to raise their kids, let alone educate them. We, as parents, get so wrapped up in the rat race of life, that the kids end up raising themselves, then we wonder why they do stupid, disrespectful, and hurtful things to themselves and to others. I am also guilty of this, have seen it in myself, and am trying to make a change for the better.
It seems that the people that homeschool their kids either come from one of two camps: those who are extremely intelligent, and dedicated, and those that are trying to help their kid take the easy way out, so they do the bare minimum, if that to meet the standards.
