Anyone thinking of homeschooling their kids?

[MuscleXtreme]

It seems that more and more people are making moves to homeschooling their kids. It doesn’t look like homeschooling is the same as how it was when a lot of us were growing up.

Now, there seems to be a lot of homeschool groups, where parents coordinate playtimes or group learning activities with other kids who are also being homeschooled. Also, a lot parents that homeschool have their kids enrolled into various extra-curricular activities.

Anyone here homeschool or thinking about homeschooling? How have you been doing it and overcoming the challenges?

It would be straight torture srs.

Yes, I believe I am capable of teaching my kids everything they would need to excel academically. But it suck and we would all hate each other.

Also homeschooled kids are always socially awkward. No thx Jeff.

Most parents have no business trying to educate their kids.

Back in the day, the home schooled kids and their parents were weirdos

Don't see the point of it unless the school is some ghetto or toxic place. Kids brains should have the dynamic input of a larger social group, in addition just the unity and camaraderie that a class gives. Its the #1 place where friendships and connections are formed

I have rarely seen 100% homeschooling work effectively, even when pulling in co-ops. There are twice a week private classical schools that progress from grammar, logic, and rhetoric whcih supplement homeschooling and I've seen that work okay. I've also seen the results of 100% School of the Dining Room Table and it is terribly unfair to children.

I wonder when they will outlaw it or make it illegal to leave out state mandated SJW education?

[ISmokeTooMuch]

if you homeschool your kid he has a good chance of becoming wincel

don't do it

[Shortfuze]

I'm in NYC and I definitely wouldn't want my kids to go to a public school unless it was a specialized school (entrance exams). In the meantime, I'm saving up for private school.

[Silencespeaks]

Don’t have kids but if I did I would never want to homeschool them. That’s how you get weird kids. Kids should be in a normal social school environment in classes with their peers and play school sports. And I don’t think parents are qualified at all to be teachers.

Yes. With masks, and dividers and limits on the playground and rules you can’t do this or that.

Very healthy

[tunafishha]

Lol are you guys stupid or something that you can't teach your own kid basic social skills?

Lol. Who gives a fk if your kid doesn't have friends. Those kids got cooties anyways.

[bongowongo]

Home schooling is the way to go.



Kids are taught liberal values and complete lies in the school system. Better to have an unsocialized child that is more atune with the real world and your values, than some woke autist force fed some bs that completely warps their psche. Would question any miscer that sends their child to school, private or public.

you should be saving up to move the **** out of that dumpster fire, boyo

Don’t do it. We need to instill anti-racist values into kids at a young age if we want to tackle social issues in the 2020’s

[Paul Kreul]

Would definitely homeschool. Homeschooling tests better in every single curriculum than public school, & it’s not even a comparison. Get your kids out of these propaganda factory’s.

What most parents are doing now..If you feel you don’t have the time, energy, or abilities, get together with your community, hire private professional tutors to teach in larger groups. This cuts down the cost, & gives the ability & power back in the parents hands deciding skill level & content your child is exposed too.

[blueberryboy]

Only if you want to waste hours of your day and have your kids end up socially inept autists

[DizzySmalls]

Private or homeschool only

[DizzySmalls]

Lol @ peasants who want to socialize their children with trash. Do the wealthy and the politicians send their kids to public schools?

Yes . Plenty of them do

[Coachbombay]

Choose your child's destiny:
a)homeschooled autist
b)public schooled tranny

[Paul Kreul]

The awkward social development is bullchit. I see kids now that go to public school, & they are becoming more & more perverse, narcissistic, & straight backward logic thinking. Public schools are straight destroying these kids. Fuk all that. Get together with your community & start homeschooling groups.

Yes because we should keep our kids as sheltered little bubble kids .

Pfft who the fk is gonna get together and create home schooling groups when there is education provided
Get real

[DustinTheHuss]

Don't do it. I have family members who did it up until high school, then the oldest went wild and is drinking too much, cutting, bulimic, etc.

Now the younger kids have been put in school and the parents say it was a bad decision.

[tunafishha]

Yes . Plenty of them do

They send them to private school.

I went to a private school as a child of a poor minority. Look how I turnt out.

They didn't love that child

[frankdtank20]

Once they get through the basics, after 2nd or 3rd grade I can see it making sense for us. A big maybe.

I knew a group of people that tried this in the 90s. It depends a lot on the teachers/parent. They found the experts of several topics within their community and they stuck to those subjects. The kids became socialized, but when they reached the upper grade levels like 8th into HS, a lot of the knowledge of the teachers actually dropped off when it came to science/psychology/arts. They had some good math teachers at least. None of the kids turned out particularly successful, but neither were their parents. They aren't poverty level or anything and I know some own businesses now. Most importantly, every single one of them are great people with great values.

I did know another family that tried it alone and both parents were smart, one was successful, their kid is a doctor now. He was homeschooled until college. One of the smarter/confident people I've met. A little different, but a kind individual without all the drawbacks that a lot of kids have going to public school, like bullying.

I know another couple that are trying a home schooling method right now, 3 days a week is at home, 2 are at a school with teachers, which is a nice mix. Seemed to be going well last I heard from them.

I think one of the most important aspects is the socialization of your kids to prepare them for society.
I personally found sports or any competition pretty beneficial and needs to be available to kids.

Whoever ends up teaching the kids, whether it's a parent, or a professional, obviously needs to be ready for the time commitment because some kids need more attention than others, and this is a big opportunity for the kid to get more attention in areas that they struggle and it can help propel them successfully to a traditional classroom.

If homeschooling, in the later years of the education, you should consider a private school because the range of topics a teacher is expected to know is more than likely going to drop off and if the kid is half way intelligent, they need to be exposed to more topics at an in-depth level, preferably with multiple methods of teaching so they can learn from different people and in new ways.

Had the same experience. Everyone went to public schools because they were fantastic, the private schools were a laughingstock and still are. I also grew up in a small, conservative town with an established university where crappy public schools would not have been tolerated.

I am trying. It's a shame though. I've lived in NYC most of my life and seen it go through lows and highs. Hoping there will be another high again but it seems unlikely.
