Quoting: Super Bowl Dave It amazes me parents let their kids walk to school, sometimes a few hundred yards, alone, around traffic... or walk to a bus stop. I would never let my kid leave my sight. While I do send my kids to public school, I live in an all-white community, so I feel it's pretty safe. Even still, I don't let my kids walk or even ride the bus. I or my wife drop them off and pick them up every single day. And we don't let them play outside out of our sight either. They don't have the run of the neighborhood the way some kids we see do. I can't imagine letting them just ride off in the sunset to report back in a few hours. Even though that's how it was when I was a kid. |

If you think about it, we're going to have a generation who will be so socially fucked up that that alone might breed killing machines. We are losing our social skills ever since electronic communications crept into our lives. We're teaching children not even to touch another (germs). There's hardly anymore eye contact because they're too busy fussin' with their iPhones while walking, jogging, shopping, sunbathing, driving or waiting for a bus. So what will happen if we restrict this generation from interacting with one another during their formative years by keeping them home? We're going to have a generation of human robots. I don't profess to know the answer but I can see the future ramifications and the future is looking more and more frightening with each passing day though. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 7570540 United States 12/14/2012 05:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You have good public schools and bad ones, good private schools and bad ones, good home schools and bad ones. If you get right down to it, most parents aren't really equipped to teach upper-level classes to their children. Heck, I know a lot who couldn't even teach them elementary math. The type of schooling your children get is decided based on a family's lifestyle and resources. It doesn't mean one way is necessarily better or worse than the other. It certainly doesn't mean a parent is an asshole. Parents cannot always keep an eye on their kids 100% of the time - if you try, you will cripple them. They will put themselves in dangerous situations - not realizing they are in danger. Even when not put in a dangerous situation, freak accidents can happen. BTW, I sent my kids to elite public schools (i.e. white upper middle class). Both now attend upper level colleges majoring in engineering fields. That was the right decision for them - especially because they were always at the top of their class and in gifted programs. If I had a child who was a slow learner or just a little "different" or sickly, I would have home-schooled. It all just depends on the situation. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29859286 I would eat fucking DIRT in a cardboard box before my son sets one foot in a public school system. You are right. Children should be home schooled and all schools banned as dangerous to children's health (done only partly with tongue in cheek). |
