I'm getting really sick and tired of the government telling me what my children should learn and be exposed to. I'm also tired of my children being exposed to some extreme opinions of teachers. I just found out that my daughter's chemistry teacher is a major pot head and came to work high all the time. Lovely eh? School certainly has changed since I was child.

Thoughts?
I was homeschooled for a while. I absolutely LOVED it!

Some pros: Student (kid) gets more 1 on 1 learning enviroment
Child is likely to fair better on the ACT and SAT's
Child is more likely to get into a better college (not necessarily, but maybe)
Child can learn better "family" skills

Cons: Child can become less social
No Peers for Child
Physical Education may not be there thus creating a weight problem (maybe)
Child does not have opportunity to play sports (in some cases like around out town, there is a "homeschoolers" team. They play the public schools and everything, but I know that this is a rare case).

All in all, I think it's better to homeschool a child. My problem is just time. We don't have it. lol

You don't think homeschooled children get social interaction? Curious - what is your idea of homeschooling?

Ofcourse not, but anyone in your (childrens) environment could have a side-job like that without you knowing it. Also it does not say anything about her capabilities as a teacher.

I think that this also happened 10, 20, 50 years ago, so i don't agree with you that this is a sign the morality is declining.

(Ofcourse i do agree that it is declining)

so if she is proven as an outstanding teacher, would be perfectly fine with her "side job" ?
