domestic crime was reduced to just about 0 during the prohibition.
What? Your going to need to supply a citation for that one. That is the first I have ever heard of that, and it is generally accepted that we are still living with the fallout of the massively increased crime of the period.
Either that, or you could admit that they are they cost more than a healthy child. The PP did NOT say that old people should be killed. He pointed out that the argument that gets regularly used is that 'fat people cost more' is a bogus argument.
That is the awesome thing about using food as a tax revenue. Since the public has completely accepted the voodoo of modern nutritional "Science", it makes it easy to just add new taxes. Since it won't solve the problem, it leaves the door open for more taxes.
Exactly the opposite. The grandfather specifically said that the chemistry taught in public schools is below his standards, and is in the process of making sure that his grandson get a better education than that.
Just because a job has people that specialize in the task doesn't mean those people do a better job. Sure. We could can send our children to the public school every day to be taught by people who specialize in education. We could also send them to Little Ceaser's every day to be fed by people that specialize in cooking.
Yes. Homeschooling leads to a wider range of friends. Contrary to the popular myth. It is public school kids that tend to be sheltered and in need of 'socialization'.
Any parent that doesn't insulate their families from the decay that surround them is a horrible parent. You may think that letting your 10 year old kid hang out outside of NAMBLA meetings before swinging by the town crack house for a few tokes and a blowjob from Herpes Hanna, but I think I will isolate my child from that decay.
My son recently had his 8th birthday. At his party, his guests included kids between the ages of 5 and 15. Not one of them was a "sibling invite". They were each his own friend. What is the age range in the kids that attend your child's birthday parties? And no, relatives, the kids of YOUR friends, and the siblings of your kid's friends don't count.
Don't forget that the public school version of 'socializing' says that you should only interact with people who are within one year of your own age. This is important because when they get out into the real world, they will always be working in groups of people that are the same age as them.
Why would you think that he would learn to socialize in an environment that completely fails to teach kids how to socialize? The kid's education level also doesn't seem to be any worse off than what he would have gotten in public school.
It sounds like your are making the mistake that is often made when discussing educational topics. You are thinking that subjects start at college level and move up from there. Cooking IS chemestry. 10 years old is plenty old enough to learn to cook, and plenty old enough to understand why most of what happens is happening. The level of chemistry that you seem to be discussing is a level that pretty much doesn't happen until college, and then not everyone takes it.
The kid is 10. That means at best the 5th grade. In many areas, it means the 4th grade if he were in public school. There are no chemistry teachers at that grade level.
A reason that the question might have been asked here is that the person asking it doesn't want to have a conversation in an echo chamber. There is no reason to believe that mikewilsonuk did not ask within the homeschool community. He might have even been given some very good suggestions. He might also realize that if everyone in a group keeps all of their questions within their group, incredible opportunities might be missed. Just because your mortgage deduction gives you the best bang for your buck with your taxes doesn't mean that you don't take all the rest of the deductions while you are at it.
You might be surprised. Home schooling isn't public school. Subjects often advance in different areas at different speeds. His reading skills might be subpar because his parents have spent the last two years pushing math.
And if the rest of the group won't shape up, the parent can't fix them either. This is why home-schooling is gaining popularity. The crappy parents can send their kid to be taught by crappy teachers who are organized by crappy administration that is given directions from crappy school boards, crappy local governments, crappy state governments all the way up to the POTUS who in the previous administration publicly referred to the smart kids as "The Nerd Patrol".
The public education system is broken on EVERY level. It is a classic example of "the weakest link". Unfortunately every link in this chain is weak.
Your making that up. I don't know if you are just trying to win an argument, or if you actually believe what you posted, but the post you responded to TWICE points out that parents are part of the problem.
Your falling for the "only one problem" myth. The problems with our education system is (as you say, the parents). It is also the teachers, the unions, the administrations, the local, state and federal governments. The problem runs from parent to POTUS.

So, you are not one of the ELEM (Eat Less, Exercise More) crowd that thinks weight is a simple equation of calories consumed - calories burned?
And if they choose risky behaviors that are different than yours.

Specialization != competence
Yes it is. The fact that you can perform the lab work by mixing things together according to authority does not make it not chemistry.
So, homeschooling produces better results, even if the kids are housed in a public school building for most of the day? OK.

And yet the home-schooled children still test higher on the very tests that the public school kids are directly taught to.

You seem to think that the crazy illiteracy isn't even worse in the public school system.

Yea, that way they can blame the school for their kid being behind.
It only seems that way to someone who unfamiliar with home schooling.
Or, he can home-school his kid and his kid can get a better education.
