Re:

Maybe I was overopinionated, as there is always exceptions. Things are also different depending the area and how the parents' work schedules are. Like mentioned before, homeschooling is certainly not for everyone. I'm sure there's plenty parents that try homeschooling that are good directional people, that just can't spend enough in depth schooling time with their child between work and the hussle and bussle of daily life.
My personal opinion is that a kid just misses out on a lot of vital character building things by not being in classes and participating in activities among other kids. Sometimes it's good for a kid to try to answer a question in front of a class and be wrong, then learn from it the next time he/she raises their hand to answer a question....or to deal with indifferences amongst other classmates, developing social levels, etc. Looking back, things I was a part of in public school like Beta Club, Math Team, and the few seasons I played basketball before I started on the work program, really made a big impact on my life. Lots of great experiences. Everybody's opinion differs and it's more technical dependant upon each family's lifestyle.
Growing up in bigger cities like some of you, public school would be a lot different than those in my surrounding smaller towns. Kids would be exposed to a lot more negative things, justifying private school or homeschooling being a more safer, secure learning experience. I'm just a firm believer in class participation and being thrown in the mix with several other students, building independence. A few years back a Christian Academy was established in my home town and I was surprised how quickly it grew and grew. Just like everything, there's different strokes for different folks.

Private schooled my whole life except 1st grade. I raised some hell that year tho.
My sister is home schooling all four of her kids because she found after six months of public school, that every day when they came home from school they would talk about what new dance they learned, or what they did at recess. She keeps them all in active in their church three days a week and in a homeschooling group once a week. They get together with other local homeschool kids and have classes, field trips, and stuff like that. I might be slightly biased here, but they are incredible kids. Smart as heck, know sign language, and some kind of history time line song that goes from the beginning of time til now. It's pretty impressive.
Only difference I ever noticed between public and private schools was the cost of the drugs and dealing with a bunch of spoiled rotten rich kids. To clarify I worked 40hrs a week in high school to pay my tuition there. I didn't quite fit in with those Porsche and Hummer driving yuppies.

Catholic school K-12 in the same school system in Charlotte, NC. The one thing that you get in some of the private schools IMO, and it may just be from my experience only, is a sense of community. The whole idea of you are only as good as the people you surround yourself with. Families are closer and more willing to help each other in times of need in comparison to situations I saw from my friends in public schools. I know great people that have come from both public and private schools. Its all in what they get at home. My friends that were ****ups at my school had issues at home, same as my friends in public school. Not to say we didn't have some kids in my area that were just total dumbasses. My dad worked his ass off til well into his cancer treatment and my mom was active in the school system all the way up to being board president for a few years and on countless committees. I started working summer jobs at 14 and from watching my parents it taught me the value of hard work, being committed to the people around you and being an asset to your community. We had to do volunteer hours each year in order to graduate/move up a grade. I ended up working with a program called Trips for Kids that took inner city/at-risk youth and took them mountain biking. This turned into something I did almost every weekend until I went to college.
My parents kept me busy. I played sports most of the year. Fall was soccer, then football after 7th grade, winter was church league basketball (I sucked but it was more a social thing than competitive), spring was soccer and then eventually lacrosse. During the summer I was usually with my grandparents in New Hampshire and riding mountain bikes every day, fishing, hiking etc then working there once I turned 14.
We didn't have video game systems in the house growing up. Computers were for homework, papers or projects and we didn't have cable tv til I was well into my teens. They kicked my ass out of the house to go play with friends/ride bikes/get dirty/raise hell in the neighborhood and gauged how much fun I had by how many scrapes I had or how dirty I was when I came home. That experience is invaluable IMO. I am tech dependent now because of my job, but thats also why my main hobbies are dirtbikes and wheelin. When I am not at work I want to be somewhere that doesn't allow me access to technology. I see family and friends whose kids are on ipads or other electronic **** and throw a fit when they cant play with it. Absolutely stupid.

Amen.
As mine leaves elementary this year, it's very interesting to see the changes within the past 2 years.
They have become a title one school. Which allows max federal funding so of course to uphold that title we have to have X amount of black kids whose parents are unemployed, X amount of Mexicans who dont speak English, X amount of kids on free and reduced lunch, by the way is now more than 80% of the school. The more there are the more funding the school gets. So some of these parents drive BMWs and Mercedes yet are on free and reduced lunch programs.
Then a couple years ago they started a program called college bound. This requires every grade and every class to pick a university then spend the year tying that college into the curriculum. It is part of pep rally's, school activities etc..
Don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to college but I believe 100% that it is a brain wash to make children and families feel like its the only way to get an education. Therefore you will be in debt to gov. It's exactly what they want. To own your debt in every aspect of the market.
So in closing, in my area public schools are becoming trash and I don't want children to be molded in the image of a gov agenda.
I'am very proud of our country and I want all children to learn our history bad and good. Not just about how we held the black man down, and that May 5th is cinco ****in de mayo.
Ha I'm all fired up. Lol
High five to great parents. That's where great educations start regardless of the institution.
