First Ammendment Already under Assault

[MikeBjerum]

I have never known a kid that was home schooled to be "well adjusted"  There is something to be said about letting children interact.

That is part of why we did not home school.  However, there are several children in our community that are home schooled and do very well, and even better than many in traditional settings.  The secret is in how the parents handle the social parts of the child's life.  A parent can do a good job or they can screw it up, but that is the same with any setting.

which oddly enough the cult types seem to be the extreme right...  just saying.

You mean like the b-ho cult?

Sure would be nice if you could get even a partial tax rebate for not putting one's child in a public school.  Everyone pays taxes to support schools, but at a minimum it would be cool to get $$$$'s kicked back for the years one's child was in school and out of the public "skoolz" system.

I agree, I am not happy with paying school tuition, and paying taxes to fund the government indoctrination system.
I am also pretty mad about having to deal with the product of government education.
While not universal the norm from my experience is that these indoctrinated ones have almost no knowledge of either American or world history, have limited vocabulary, don't know what spelling is, they do know all about their rights, and about government entitlements.
They also know all about smoking cigarettes, and dope. They know how to pay for tats and piercings. They know all about talking on a cell phone and text messaging, when they are supposed to be working, are good at cussing and making crude remarks, and, oh yes to them work is a four letter word.
Just some modest observations.

I counted (something I learned in school, back in the old days) W-O-R-K  it IS a four letter word. 
Want them to learn ? Teach reading, writing, and arithmetic (no calculators) Then make THEM teach you about History and science, that way not only do they learn the subjects but they also learn critical thinking, composition, and research skills

At my son's private Christian school the students average at the 80th percentile on SATs.
Unfortunately they don't have time at his school to learn how to safely fornicate and such.
