Many of you have kids & I know we have at least one teacher in here, what do you all think about home schooling?
Whenever I've given it any thought (rarely) I didn't think it was a good idea because I believe kids should be socialized, now I just don't know because I think about their safety before education, if that makes any sense. I just left the thread where the teacher's aide probably killed a little girl and it's on my mind.
After the last school shooting incident I heard about, the first thing I thought was if I had kids they would be in private/Montessori or home school.
I am not impressed with standardized testing, and with kids being expelled for stupid reasons.
I am sure being social is important, I am sure there are other ways to do that if one chooses to home school.
