HOME SCHOOLING

[Maggot]

Do y'all think kids should have some street smarts too?

Yes, and the best way to develop that is to go out in the real world with exposure to different groups of people, not sit home with mom all day.

I imagine there are some parents that are devoted to spending 7 hours a day actually teaching their children (not just sitting them in front of a virtual teacher) and then another 1-2 hours of additional after school work plus several more hours a week exposing them to music, art classes and physical activities with other children. But I don't think that's the majority, and if you're not doing that then you are not qualified to homeschool imo.

Actual classtime in school or at home is more like about 5 hrs per day. The rest is lunch, recess changing classes, teachers, smoking dope, making out, sharpening knives, etc.
