Re: Home schooling…pros and cons?
this is the reason majority of homeschooling parents in the US give too. they dont want their kids exposed to govt propaganda, minorities both religious and ethnic, the godlessness of classrooms, liberal ideas like gun control and homosexuality.
and another thing - everyone thinks their kids are absolutely brilliant and need to be challenged more/ arent being given the right pedagogic approach to shine etc. good schools have ways to address such things if they are indeed genuine cases. parents aren’t the ones likely to make objective assessments of their kids abilities. a teacher who sees thousands of kids in his or her career knows a thing or two more than most parents.
someone said they needed 2 hour time slots to really teach a kid. good luck getting any kid under 8 to listen to anything for more than 20-25 minutes at a time. no matter how good your content, kids aren’t built to sit and get indoctrinated like that. why would you want to experiment on a kid when there is a system or a group of systems in place?
