Guest guest Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Hello Bob, First of all yes I did go to the public school system. It was very rough being called Mentally Retarded by the teachers since I had a learning disability. Secondly I am a well rounded educated person who knows exactly what she is doing---the best for my children. As any well educated should know " the parents are their children's first teachers and they know their children better than anyone " . Yes we are going to live and thrive in the real world as you stated. However, do you realize that the students have approximately 30 minutes total of social time in school whereas outside of the " government run school " they have much more. Let's take an example ok we have teen kids at a local teen center and the dance is oh lets say two hours. None of that time is interrupted they are being social. So Bob how many kids have you raised in the school system vs. Homeschooling? Do you realize my son( I left to the system to do their part) is in fourth grade and has not learned the months of the year, thinks October is in the spring? So there you have it Bob, he is going to suceed wonderfully don't you think if they keep sliding him on through. I have given the school chance after chance to teach him the skills necessary and they have failed my son. He can not add, nor can he multiply, nor can he read well. So tell me how much one on one do you suppose he is getting in the classroom? Nada! The teacher does not have the time she has 15 other students! So I allowed the system to do their job and now I have to undo the damage that they have caused I need to start him off fresh from Kindergarten and work on the way up through. My lesson from the system don't trust them they do not know our children best nor can they teach them to the potential and grade level. Basketball ok. Well to tell you the truth anyone here can join including the public school kids along with the homeschoolers. So you failed that test Bob! You are a work of art--I bet you don't even have kids. That is the best kind. Why don't you email the CMT list and stand up like a man and email the whole CMT list plus on top of that no one can respond to your " private email " talk about weak. Yes and my two year old is above average in social skills. So beat it Bob, you have not a clue what " the real world is about " until you have raised 5 children or for that matter at least more than one. Try fighting the system and see where you are at then. Thanks but no thanks I don't need you or anyone else to tell me how to teach my kids I will do a much better job than any government. Thanks, Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
