Name calling is definitely the indicator of a mature adult... yes sirree.
My experiences with public education were mixed. Most of the children at my public school didn't pay attention because they clearly lacked discipline and respect for others. Those who had parents that taught them correctly usually did just fine. My teachers didn't try to change my beliefs or even talk much about religion except to talk about what the general core beliefs of other religions were. They never stated which was correct. I made that decision on my own.
In health and wellness they did a presentation on contraceptives which I felt was a tad misleading, but I had made my decision well before that on what I was going to do or rather what I wasn't going to do. To be honest with the right teachers public school can be just fine. With overbearing teachers it can be terrible. I many times found myself vehemently discussing the merits of morality with my teachers mostly sometimes with other students. Was I sometimes mocked by other students for my beliefs... of course... did I really care? Not even a little bit.
Children need to be taught to make their own choices and how to make good choices in the face of adversity. It is the responsibility of the parents to instill this in their children by both instruction and example.
And in answer to you yes I know people who have been in prison who were home schooled. I would not say the majority of home schoolers are in prison or any nonsense like that but I know of no less than 4 individuals.
I don't think I said most home schooled kids are dumb... I know some that are and some that aren't. Intelligence is not an indicator of success whether worldly or itherwise. However alot of home school kids have wealthy, affluent parents and guaranteed jobs when they get out of high school/college.
Poorer parents unfortunately can't afford to home school their kids. I'm happy Esaias that you are able to do what you wish and home school your kids as it is clearly important to you. I am glad you have that luxury. You should be thankful and not condemn others that do not.
