...LOL...try teaching how to deal with that kinda stuff in homeschool ;)

All joking aside.....Public school worked great for me and my wife, so I see no reason to homeschool our children in the future. However, if both the public and private schools in the area were so bad that our children would not recieve a proper education....then homeschooling would be an option. Actually, I can not think of a reason for homeschooling besides having a special needs child or lack of proper educational instruction in existing schools in the area. If any of you have other reasons, I would like to hear them just to be educated on the topic ;)

Thats whats good about it you are faced with REAL decitions!! I have bien asked to drugs before, and I turned them down! And classic rock and roll kicks butt! My cousins freak out when someone says poop. He once said....Mamaw you said a cuss word..No I didnt....Yes you did ...you said poop....Just imagien if i said crap, or better yet my mom says Sh** !! LOL! They need to get out more....What about when they are in JH and hitting puberty? My mom doesnt like to talk about that stuff... and i know theres doesnt either. Same with sex. Crazy crazy.

oh i can't disagree with you more. if that is how the parents 'choose' to raise their children... without swearing... then that's their choice. it has nothing to do with whether or not they are homeschooled.

we have neighbours down the street who go to school and they are very much like your cousins.

as you are attempting to represent the 'schooled kids' i suggest you spend more time with your spell check! :P

i dunt ned no spel chek. Not really my point in it all..lol. But im just saying that if they wer in school they would be more ready for the real world.

perhaps you should meet my 20 yr old daughter and tell her she's not ready for the real world. she chooses not to do drugs, although she chooses to drink. she chooses not to hang out with people who do drugs... cause many of her friends over the years have chosen to do drugs and she's watched what their lives became under it's influence.

as her mother... i spoke to her about sex, drugs, AIDS (and other STDs), we've discussed drinking and driving and the repercussions of not paying your bills... among other things...

AND i can tell you... i think the information she received from me was much more accurate than the info she received from her friends!

so... i respectfully disagree with everything you've said. school does not make a child ready for the world, nor is it the only option to gain an education... it is simply one option.

And you base this statement on.... ?

No offense, but the only "facts" you seem to bring to this discussion are your experiences with your cousins. If I was to follow that logic, I would have to conclude that all people with tattoos are criminals because I once knew a criminal with a tattoo.

Ooookay, so if you saw an example of a well-adjusted, intelligent, social homeschooled student would that change your opinion?
