Nor to suggest the opposite, which was the point I've been making all along... However, as Professor Arai (Arizona State University) states, "homeschooling parents and children must recognize that they are not just keeping their kids at home, and that they are not just making a statement about parental rights in education. Rather, they are also helping to define and shape what it means to be a citizen of their country. They must be prepared to think in these broader terms, and to recognize that what they are doing has some good elements and some bad elements, just as citizenship education in schools has strengths and weaknesses. In other words, homeschooling is not just about where kids will learn their ABCs, it affects the very definition of what it means to be a member of a society." Fair enough, but i was merely offering 'the other side of the coin'. As for professors, you will get some that say home schooling is bad & some that will be in favour of it. In America it's been proven that homeschooled children are smater and more well-behaved.

Interesting, i dont slate anyone for wanting to teach their kid at home, not when you look at the state of the English school system at present.

I believe his point was actually that parents of homeschooled children have a responsibility to make sure they aren't solely teaching their kids facts. Homeschooling may be better from an education point of view, but children still need to learn basic social interaction skills as well, which are usually picked up at school. And yes, obviously homeschooled kids will be better behaved because of the relative isolation in lessons. A tutor can control one or two kids far more easily than a class of maybe 30 kids. However at the same time as the kids at school are chatting during class, they're also interacting with other people of their age, which the homeschooled student is far less likely to be doing at that time. Good behaviour in school doesn't count for anything once you leave, provided you never did anything bad enough to be suspended or expelled.

How tolerant do you think you are? I like to think I am very tolerant. Being a mother I really have to be....and the years have helped me gain tolerance....but I am human and at the moment very hot (dang A/C broke) and my irritation is at a high. what makes you finally say enough is enough? Are you fortunate not to have reached that boiling point? I am finding myself at the moment fustrated. I try to be helpful and considerate always. But there are times such as tonight when I find myself confronted with mind games and foul mouth....I am of the mind I dont take it from my kids, I am not going to from others. So I say enough is enough. However, when I sit back and start reflecting on it....I often wonder if its a child/teen calling out for help an... attention seeker if you will....Why do I always seem to feel remorse when I do say enough is enough, even when I do feel I was in the right....and how does one maintain there dignity when trying to maintain such tolerence. I know its a bit deep, but Iam curious to find out the differnet points of views young and older. Thanks for tolerating this post.... I like to think my tolerance is very high. There have been times when something just sparked me and I become violent for a couple seconds. Like for exampe, I was over my friend's house one night. He was acting like a fool and I was trying to watch the best part of a movie that I had been waiting for all night. He scream in my ear and that just ticked me off to the point where I have no care for his safety so I go to punch him in the shoulder and his face somehow gets in the way. I gave him a bloody nose. But that rarely ever happens. I usually am very tolerant of different people and their personalities. I pride myself on not getting angry but as always, it's human nature. There is a time when something can piss me off so much that I have no care for my safety or other's safety. There is a point when I will become violent and it doesn't matter how many times I get hit, I will just keep fighting. However, I've never reached that point for more than 3 seconds in my life and it happens very very rarely. To maintain tolerance, I think of consequences that may happen and realize it's not worth it.

Well of course, if you are taught at home there is out of school activities where your child can learn social skills, i went to various clubs as well as belonging to various little league football teams that teached me social skills & interaction.
