I'm really sick of hearing about all this unschooling shit. In about 15 years the world is going to be teeming with unemployable and utterly useless human beings who can't do anything more productive than eating their own boogers.

I've gotta admit that I was homeschooled, and badly.Quote

Without formal schooling, or at least without children being in the presence of real intellectuals, they will not learn by "osmosis" of being exposed to higher-level thinking in the popular culture.
In other words, they won't develop any interest in fine music, the arts, languages, literature, science--primarily because popular culture is pervasive and the aforementioned topics are aimed at a niche audience. Without any type of catalyst to drive someone into these fields through exposure to them, there's no reason for an individual to explore them. You don't just pick up A Tale of Two Cities at age 35 when you haven't ever read a book in your life. You won't have an interest in learning about astronomy when nobody has ever showed you a telescope before. You may have some interest in popular hip hop on MTV.... but likely won't understand the roots of it, nor will you care to. In short, your brain will be intellectual mush.
"Unschooling" is/will be a potential disaster for an overwhelming portion of the population.

In years past, parents who homeschooled had to have a degree of some sort and fill out an application and be "accepted" by the state board of education to be qualified to teach their children at home. When did this change? This was a "rule" as recently as the early 1980's in the state of Alabama, USA, which isn't exactly known as the education mecca of the country. It is ABSURD that any state board of education would even allow this bullshit! It probably started out with religious fundamentalists demanding to "teach" their kids at home and then just got out of control from that point. This moo who's quoted above clearly has no business "teaching" a puppy how to use a newspaper, much less any children how to read or write.

ok so a childhood friend and myself reconnect after 20 some years of losing touch anyhow she has two kids 7 and 5 i hear from her all the time how gifted they are and how her ( the mom) is responsible for their success, ok Great. I am really am very happy her sweet littel girls are so smart...really
I never enough thought to compare our kids but apparently she has been.
I say this because the other day i tell her how( my friend) that my sitter's son writes his own name amongst other things( he just turned 3) and how impressed I am and my old friend goes on to say big deal her kids were witing at 3 years of age too, and then proceeded to ask me what I do all day because my 3 year old knows nothing and my 6 year old cant even read yet (ofcourse she breaks the tension with a littel laugh) I didnt get defensive, i just stated the my oldest reads a littel and my youngets doesnt need to nothing at 3 except how to play and that we take more of an unschooling approach.
in that breathe she claims that i am lazy not teaching my children, i explain you cant make a kid learn and she says i should be sitting them down and making them do school work all day (after all I am home all day) She is a nurse works three days a week and is home the rest of the week and her kids do not get home to almost 5 from school and then have other activites, in my opinion she doesnt see her kids enough smart or not. but ofcourse i will keep my opinions to myself... ohwell i am done.. I think I will have to try to keep the kids out of our conversation somehow. thanks for reading :0)

Her "sitter's" son? Did she mean "sister",maybe? What in the hell does she need a sitter for, if she's home all day?
I couldn't help myself. I did a search and found some of her other posts. The one about her 3 year old not being able to shit for two years was kind of entertaining.
Also, she must have has a ghostwriter for her previous posts, because they sound much more coherent than this one.
