haha, I know what you mean. I think the funniest part of it was not the fact that the kid was a nitwit, but the fact that the woman's teeth almost fell right the out of her head, she was trying to keep a smile so hard.

But I think that people have the causal order of this mixed up: kids who get homeschooled by their weird parents turn out weird because of they have weird parents, not because they're homeschooled.
hahahaha, it's true!
I've known some people who were in fact homeschooled, and you would never even know. Some people are quite the opposite. Girl I used to work with, one of the first things her and I ever conversed about was education, and I began the conversation with "So were you home-schooled or what...?" :stongue:

I wouldn't want to home school, but private school, yes.
I don't know if that is such a good idea. I went to private school my whole life I consider it a social elite hell. Either you hate it or you turn into a douchebag who thinks he's better than everyone else because he had a private education. I'm lucky to have experienced both and to have been able to win back my individuality. But it was ing terrible. Then on top of that the kids I met when I went to university who had gone to public school were better prepared than I was because private schools pad your grades in an attempt to hack university admissions. That's what you pay them for.
Unless you want your kid to be a snotty polo shirt, khaki short, penny loafer wearing lacrosse playing douchebag then go right ahead.

i think the only person i ever met who was home-schooled had big medical problems and probably couldn't go to school anyway
is this an US thing or what?

my informal observations, gathered over the years:
10% of home-schooled kids are super-smart because their parents were hypereducated, post-hippie types.
the other 90% are drooling, slack-jawed goons whose parents are either bible-thumpers or yokels too stupid to register their kids at their local schoolbarn.
-
100% of home-schooled kids are, to varying degrees, socially maladjusted.

I agree with most of that. I went to a private school from 3rd grade through high school (that's from appx 8 to 18 years old for non US folks). Fortunately for my long term mental health I never fit in, the whole damn place was a clique. It sucked ass for 10 years. Anyway, they did nothing to prepare students for college because they just wanted to funnel them all in to their own college. As a result my first year of college caught me off guard completely.
To be honest, a child's outcome, regardless of private or public education, will be determined more by the discipline and care occuring outside of the differences between the two.
