That's on the verge of unbelievable... I believe it. 12 years ago my daughter came home crying from 2nd grade at the local SMALL TOWN elementary school. We asked what was wrong and she told us that she was going to die from AIDS. She told us that the word for the week was AIDS and that the teachers has explained that you could catch AIDS from touching blood. They went on to say that AIDS attacks your white blood cells and lowers your immune system, THIS WAS TO A 7 YEAR OLD CHILD!!!!!! I know adults who don't know what a white blood cell is, how the hell do you expect my 7 year old to understand? We went to the school and the principle told us that it was none of our business what they taught our children. We have home schooled ever since. BTW, for all of that say that it will kill them socially, my daughter is an education major at a private Catholic college. She is B+ student and is involved in many school activities. She also assists in classes at the same elementary school when she is home on vacation. |

I was homeschooled all the way through. I'd recommend joining HSLDA, just in case you have any legal problems. Also, see if there are any homeschooling groups in your area that you could get advice from. The good thing about homeschooling is that you can get more learning in using less time, and use the other time to teach the kids useful stuff. By the time I got to sr. high, we were only doing school 4 days a week, and just in the mornings. Wednesday we took off and went to the range.

I had two kids in public school in SW Ok. For the past 5 years they have gone backwards. The first week of school this year they missed 2 full days cause the school turned out for sports. They are so broke they laid off the janitors and the teachers have to clean their own rooms and the school. The teachers take my kids out of school without my knowledge. They had them clean the fairgrounds during school. They pull them out of class to clean the gym before a basketball game. Several of the teachers were caught cheating and some of the female teachers got in a fight at a ballgame over each other’s husbands. Teachers wear short pants and short shirts with their thong and tramp stamp showing. No, they aren’t good looking. One aide was telling my 16 year old son about how many STD's she has had. My kids never get homework. I asked some teachers about this and they said they don’t give homework cause it wouldn’t get done. One teacher I know told me they don’t give homework because it would be more work for them and most students wouldn’t do it any way. I don’t claim to be the smartest guy around but these so called teachers are fucking stupid. I catch mistakes on my kids work and send it back with a note. The computer teacher calls me to ask questions. She called to ask me how to hook an LCD projector to her laptop. Really??? Some of the teachers and the administrators were total dickheads to my kids today. They publicly stripped them of their class titles, told them their parents were making a big mistake, etc, etc. The school counselor told my son he wasn’t a student there anymore and wouldn’t be welcome to come back. Rant off–– I am more than happy to take advice from any parents who homeschool their kids. Got any video? |

If that's not an option for you, see if the "K12 Program" is available in your area. It's usually available as a tuition-free public school alternative. Basically, it's home-schooling that's paid for with the tax dollars that would go to your public school, as I understand it. I started to enroll Evil Junior and Little C in the program this school year before I got short on time and said "Fuck It". Back to private school they went. Georgia has "Georgia Cyber Academy" that is technically a charter school that uses the K12 curriculum that has been modified for GA. It is pretty good. Way better than the public schools. My son took the CRCT and was in the top section for each subject. My wife told me tonight that GCA has 10,000 students. My son is in his 5th year and daughter is in her 2nd year.

Sounds exactly like my experience with our public school systems here in Florida. If I had to do it over again, I'd have home schooled my kids, and thank God they turned out great. Daughter is a Surgical Vet Tech and son got into West Point....BTW, through no help with his school...I maxed out 3 credit cards at Huntington Learning Center to do so over his Junior and Senior year at High School to catch up.....
I personally worked (volunteered) about 3 hours a day at the high school and can verify all these stories! Especially the teachers being crazy and drunk! |

I'll just add that I view public school systems like WalMart. There's no entrance fee (other than taxes...if you pay them) and you get all kinds of students which means they've got some kind of parent(s) somewhere. There's everything from the lowest common denominator to very bright leaders.
The same I'm sure goes with teachers but I give teachers a bit of credit because public schools are bureaucracies run by egos and managed mostly by liberals. Not a whole lot you can do to fix that even from within. I honestly would hate to be a teacher in today's hope to keep lawyers away policy oriented schools. |

OP, I went to a small school. Although my teachers weren't as bad as you described, I had several teachers in highschool that never taught us anything. I went through 4 years of english and never read a book, never had a homework assignment and never wrote a single paper. We talked about quail hunting and quarter horses every single day. Luckily, I went to a private school through 8th grade and was ahead when I went to a public highschool. Lets just say that college was a real challenge, but I made it through. Your kids education is the one of the most important things you will ever give them. Do the best you possibly can.

The argument that a liberal or blue state does substantially better is false. I use Detroit as a "liberal' area simply because I can't remember the last time they voted a Republican in for anything. The results of public education in Detroit speak for themselves. Take Philadelphia as another example. The illiteracy rate in Philly is 22%. Compare this to the national average of 14.5% or the states average of 13%. Again, I can't remember a time they voted for a conservative or a republican.( According to Wikipedia 1941-52 the Mayor was Bernard Samuel.) Look at the chart. Many traditional red states score as well as the blue ones. What matters is the economic situation of the parent and the desire of the parent to ensure an education for the child. ETA clean up post |

You're trying to tell me that you think the public schools in general in flyover states and the south are better than those in places like the metro areas (not the ghetto inner city areas) of places like Boston, Seattle, SoCal, and DC? Ooookay 
Go look at any objective measurement or ranking, stop cherry picking schools from shitholes in urban Detroit, and look at the big picture. You can talk all you want about the dedication of parents but some communities care more about education than others, and it shows. You can be the most dedicated parent in the world, but if the school system is lazy and the other kids who go to your kid's school don't give a shit and their parents don't give a shit, your kid is not going to do well no matter what you do. When your kid is in a school where all of the parents are responsible, highly educated people, the school is responsive and the expectations created by that environment are much higher. You don't get that in bumblefuck, no matter how good a parent you think you are. |

Restated, we homeschool.
Now, on a local level, you might want to call the Oklahoma State Department of Education and talk to our new state superintendent, Janet Barresi. To the rest of this esteemed forum; Janet Barresi is Oklahoma's own "Chris Christie" as far as the Oklahoma Classroom Teacher's Association is concerned. They HATE her guts and wish she would die a slow and painful death. They had over 20 years of a life-support-system for a cvnt named Sandy Garrett, who was a rubber stamp for whatever the teacher's unions wanted. Barresi is cleaning house with a bulldozer. I don't intend to send my son back to .gov schools, but people like Barresi give me hope for the future. |

Sounds like you kinda live in the sticks. I can't speak for other people but my daughter has got a pretty good education so far from the public school system we're in. Plus she's getting everyday experience on how to deal with people in the real world, none of this sheltering shit that people think is good for their kids. She's a freshman this year, 4.0 grade average her who life, she's in honor's everything this year and she's a cheerleader. Some of her teachers have been great. |

Neal Boortz said that sending the most precious thing in your entire life off to the government for their education should be considered child abuse. I agree. +1 If the school is teaching a socialist/humanist/gay rights agenda it can not possibly be a good school. It doesn't matter if the teachers are good or bad the curriculum is required and the PC brainwashing is in full effect from day one. |

Took mine out 2 years ago and put him in private Christian school. We moved here and paid a premium for the house to get my kid in a great Elementary School K-5, which (was for the most part). Step 2 kid moves to middle school in next town (as no middle school here) & that is where it went south quick. A bunch of young female teachers with no control whatsoever, no male influence and a bunch of spoiled white kids. Principal is a total cunt that I went to high school with, I was absolutely shocked that she could achieve such a position. Drugs, bullying, favoritism to athletes, pet students, 8th graders caught having oral sex, it was a joke.
They would send letters home telling us we couldn't pack certain foods in their lunchbox. I sent a note back to the teacher that when they started buying my groceries that they could then tell me what my kid could eat. They also showed Al Gore's famous movie, a bunch of parents got together and 40% of the students stayed out that day. My son got bullied took up for himself after my wife & I made multiple trips to the school, and he gets in trouble. The last 2 weeks of his 8th grade we went to school picked him up & I told the principal to go fuck herself. Public education has been trashed by union unaccountable people, and the teachers who do care have no voice. My son has new friends, makes good grades, and is on his way to a better life.If you truly love your kid you will get them out of public school and either home school or send them to a good private school. Those who doubt what we are saying are most likely not involved at all in their kids school and are turning a blind eye. You cannot any longer send them to public school and think that it's the school's responsibility to teach your kid, why do you think there are so many dumb asses running around this country today? |

That argument is BS and doesn't hold up. I'm glad your daughter is getting a 4.0 and knows how to jump up and down but that is not what socialization is solely about. Homeschoolers have all the opportunity in the world to be socialized. My daughter-in-law and her sister were 4H state ambassadors. My children were leaders on sports teams and youth groups and hold leadership positions in their career fields. One of them received national recognition in science in Grad school. My son-in-law is a Chief Resident Surgeon at the Mayo Clinic and was a 4.0 all thru high school, college and med school. They were all homeschooled. The most introverted children I ever knew as an educator were the ones who went to public school and were harassed, bullied and teased no end by fellow students behind the teachers backs. No thanks. I'll take honeschooling and its perceived issues over the best PC school any day of the week. |
