I just love how parents who have children younger than my own - who have done enough research to know that they don't want their kids in Public School, but not enough to know that the method of teaching most schools is more geared toward low-key kids, i.e. those that have been taught to sit quietly, be obedient and conform in institutions like McDayCares - tell me that I am probably not doing my son a "good service" by home-schooling him.
What about Socialization and the social aspects of being around other school-kids? Oh I'm sorry, you're right! I need to take my kids out of the sterile, vacuum-sealed packaging of my suburban home and neighborhood; make sure that they learn how to play and run and socialize because lord knows, I want them fucked-up, non-productive members of society. Hell no they aren't allowed any friends or fun or junk food or water! We already know that food companies don't want the responsibility of making healthy food; that the School Systems don't want the responsibility of protecting kids from other school-kids and some adults that are employed, nor the responsibility teaching them anything beyond cramming for what's in National and International Standardized tests; that it takes a village to raise a child but no Federal or State mandate or funding but God Fuckin' Bless America!
My daughter has been in the public school system since Kindergarten, is in 3rd grade now, and has had a TOTAL of TWELVE recesses - what the fuck is up with that!?
OK. I probably sound like a raving lunatic. And I am!!! AND, I'm teaching!
