I also Home School
Quote From: missjane2THE PROBLEM IS FLORIDA, NOT THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS! And I hope the Florida government READS THIS COMMENT. I have relatives in Florida and HONESTLY I DO NOT let my 13 year old boy go alone into a public restroom. He comes with me into the ladies room. And I don't give a $%& what anyone thinks. Listening to the daily news in Florida is ATROCIOUS for lack of a better word. It is outright DANGEROUS especially for kids. And the only time we ever hear the extended news is because a harmed child has a parent from another state who has custody so it becomes national news. My kids are all in public school in my farm town state. I DO NOT WORRY ABOUT MY KIDS ONE MINUTE IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. I have had 1% problems and every time I called the teacher the problem has been addressed QUICKLY within 24 hrs. My teachers reinforce my values. Unless you live in more than one place it is hard to realize how different areas are accross the US. On our News it says things like: Such n Such is teacher of the year, A new elephant was born at the zoo today, Let's take a look at what the children are doing at the grand opening of this new Science exhibit today.... some crime yes.... but NOTHING like Florida. I spent 2 weeks there and listened to the news everyday in horror to the crimes against kids. It is out of control in my opinion. I had to home school because had two differtent teachers tell me, I was a overly concerned mother and I did not know what I was talking about. My son is a slow learner and was getting beat up and in detention all the time. So I decided to home school and is awsome now. I also disagree with no social life. I have the whole neighborhood kids almost every day. It is also proven homeschoolers are getting higher education and smarter than the public kids. Because they do get one on one. They can advance at thier own pace. I don't know what the big thing is with social with all the hatred in schools now. Here where I live it is not safe. We had a third grader bring a loaded gun to school and threatened two brothers. So I would rather keep my kids safe during the day and then have after school sports. Or find clubs that I can be involved for them. My kids love homeschooling because we get to travel and experience more.
