Top Ten Weaknesses in Homeschooling

[seachaser250]

#1 reason not to home school- no need for self validation. For example, you won't feel compelled to drown fishing forums with posts about home schooling.

You might read that more carefully. This was listed as a disadvantage. Reading comprehension is touted as an advantage.

It's been a few years since anyone in our household taught in a public university. Further, all our research projects over the past few years are privately funded. In 2015, 100% of our income was from private consulting. I did consult on one murder case in the NE in 2016, so there was a small check from a state government up there, but this year well over 90% of our income will be from private consulting. We do not actively solicit government research grants - too many rules, too much paperwork, and too slow to pay.

You might try harder to get your facts right.

But do you know the joy of practicing academic rigor? Of going to school for 37 years straight only to die before you get to live? Of educating yourself beyond the point of being able to recognize "ordinary" folks as actual people?

I think not my friend.

Negatory ghost rider. But I did feel the embarrassment of getting a bloody nose on the playground and the excitement of getting lucky after the homecoming party. I'll take that any day over being able to regurgitate the square root of any number you throw at me.

I attended TH Watins in Lake Charles, Grace King in Metairie, and LSU-BR.

I would be much more favorable toward public schools if they were still as safe, drug free, and porn free and if they had comparable academic rigor as when I attended.

This type of fanatical preaching is common amongst ultra religious folks. The thought of people not agreeing with them could never mean they are the ones that are wrong, the obvious answer to them is those that disagree are clearly not as smart or as enlightened. This perception further fuels their desire to educate you and "open your eyes" to their way of thinking, because obviously if you were as smart as they are then you would think the same way... And be accepted into the famed realm of academic, religious, or whatever righteousness they so covet.

I agree 100%, MG has either dropped off the deep end, or just now showing his true colors.
I thought MG was a highly educated down to earth guy and I respected him.
Hell I even built and donated materials for him and his kids to build the "Mullet Launcher" because I though that was a really cool project for his kids.

I don't feel like he's the same guy anymore and that's too bad.

I think this MG fella is one of those trolls

I didn't read all of your posts, had fun trolling you though.

If I'm going to read something that long it's going to be a soft cover. I was homeschooled BTW

Snapped this picture on the way to work this morning. They obviously weren't home schooled.

MG... Do you not realize with all your wisdom that you will wake up and still put on your pants in the morning the same way the rest of us do ?

Flexing your brain cells is not goint to make everyone see it your way. We all have different opinions and views that are just as rooted as yours. It makes each one of use who we are. You can't possibly believe you can repeatedly pound your opinion into people and turn them into a model of you.

It's ok if opinions vary.
