I think it will work in some areas. Homeschool will work beacause it protects you from bullies most of the time, not having to fit in, and not having problems with trends meaning how you look or cloths.It does not work beacause you won't know how to work with other people when you grow up.
ReplyDeleteTo me I would rather be in a school with other people than at home by my self.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because, I feel that I learn better when I have other people there to help me like my teachers, and peers. Why do you think that public schooling is better?
DeleteI agree that I would rather be at a public school, but some kids feel different because they might understand their parents better than a random teacher. I think that public schooling is better because you have more opportunities and you have more experience. If you do homeschooling, you may not be able to do sports or participate in public opportunities.
DeleteI agree with you guys because if you have home school you wont have much friends to hang out with, but it's their choice to choose if they want home school or not. Some kids are better in home school then public school, and some are better in public school then home school.
DeleteI'm with the cons because they don't make good socal skills and won't work well in groups when they get a job
ReplyDeleteI don't agree, even if your home schooled you can still interact with other people, just maybe not as much.
DeleteI stand with the pros because I think that a lot more learning can go on if you are being taught one on one. You do not have to wait for someone to quiet down so the teacher can start talking again. On the other hand I think special needs kids should not be homeschooled because they need to deal with the bullys or people that make fun of them because they disabled. There will always be those people.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lucas because, being with someone that you are comfortable with one on one you don't have to be afraid if you got the problem wrong.
DeleteI think that everyone should be free. Not just in some countries.
ReplyDeleteI think homeschooling is good for some reasons and bad for other reasons.I think its good because all the attention is on you, so therefore its probably going to be easier to learn.Plus, you wont have distractions from other kids and you don't have the teacher waiting for the whole class to quite down. Its bad because yu are not social with other people and I think that would affect you once you got older when you have to get a job. Plus, yes you have neighbor friends but you don't get to see them as much as you would in school.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with Homeschooling. I would rather go to school with many kids then be home with just an adult. You need to learn how to work with others and discuss what you learned with others.On the other hand Homeschooling is good because you don't have to worry about being bullied or picked on for what you say or what you do, but later in life you will have to know who to handle getting bullied. When you are homeschooled you might not get the best collage degree because your parents don't have a teaching degree.I would not want to be Homeschooled..
ReplyDeleteI think that homeschooling isn't always a good idea. Kids should be able to interact with others and learn what kind of people they might have to deal with in the future. Teachers can be inspiring people and they won't have a job if everyone starts homeschooling. Then again, some kids don't work well with others and aren't accepted at school. Some kids might be better off if they are learning at home. They might not feel safe at school.
ReplyDeleteI kind of disagree with Lucas when you said that the special need kids need to come to school to deal with bully's.Everyone has to learn how to handle bully's so i think that I am more pro than con
ReplyDeleteI think that homeschooling isn't a good idea. I think that all kids should be able to interact with other kids for there future. What would happen if they didn't go to a public school for middle school, Then in high school they were getting bullied they wouldn't know who to tell are where to go.
ReplyDeleteWhy do humans exist? Why are we here when all we do in the world is pollute it and drive all other animals out and there's only conflict in the human world? All we do is torture all others? Why did God make us?
