Public School VS Home School

Subject: Public School VS Home School Wed Jan 26, 2011 12:00 am

I like home school alot better. My anxiety is so bad I missed almost all my freshman year until I started home school. I think home school is alot better than public school because there are less distractions, less people. And you get one on one time with your teacher. Unlike public schools where there are a ton of kids and distractions, Plus it is hard as hell to get the teacher to come over to help you when she has to help like 11 more kids. Also in public schools you are prone to be made fun of. But when you are home schooled you don't have to worry about that. It is less stressful being home schooled. What do you think? Public School or Home School?

I think that home school works for some people who really need it (like you did) but I also think there ar merits to public school, I was bullied the entire time I was in school but learned how to fight back too, and that's s like skill you can't learn in Home schooling.

I think that public school gives you a chance to work on some life skills. I remember loving going to prom, being in plays, and just hanging out with my friends. I had a good time my Junior and Senior years, and I LOVED college. IMO

I am for home school as well. Mostly because each person is unique and learns at different paces. By this I mean that a person could be in grade 9 age-wise, but still need work on grade 6 math. At the same time that person could be, linguistically, a genius and have fluently mastered 7 languages. Our current school system would have held everyone in the class back at the 6th grade math level just because one person has trouble with it. Problem is they are hurting everyone including the few they are trying to help by making grades so complicated. Each subject should have it's own grade levels, and you should be allowed to pass, fail, excel in each level as you are skilled. Another thing that I have a problem with is the lack of accountability in school systems. If more than half your class failed then you as a teacher have failed, not necessarily the teachers. That being said East St. Louis School District now has a process by which the teachers are graded.
