My wife says she new a couple of kids growing up who were basically vegetables with functioning brains. Today I'm reading stories like "this 11 year old was functionally illiterate," and "sure my homeschooled kids are behind, my 13-year old can't spell `were.' But she can lead a bible study group so she's ahead of the curve in that aspect." Has anyone else met a weird homeschooler and have an interesting story about it?

Just read a teacher say they've met dozens of homeschooled kids who enter public school at the high school level, and only two were not weird or lacking in preparation/skills/education

When I was in the army I worked with a couple guys who were homeschooled. Imagine a scene from a war movie or a spy movie like the Bourne identity, where they're in a command center trying to track terrorists from a drone feed and moving assets to the target, etc. Imagine everyone is tense and focused, like that picture of Obama & Clinton during the bin Laden raid. Now imagine there's one guy in the back of the room trying to balance himself with one foot on the edge of a stair, flailing his arms around and making robot noises.

Once caught a homeschooled kid rummaging through my trashcans at night. I shined a flashlight on him and his eyes were all reflective and creepy. He hissed at me and fled into the darkness.

I have a weird reaction to these threads because I was homeschooled and am "conventionally successful" but also weird and suicidal so what does that really matter?

I think homeschooling can work, but usually doesn't because most parents are lousy teachers and probably really stupid themselves.

Either that or they just want to indoctrinate their kid with their ideology instead of letting the kid develop critical thinking and decide for themselves.

Most of the parents who go out of their way to withdraw their child from society don't exactly have a practical education in useful life skills as their first priority

My roommate was home schooled until college and he speaks way too loving loud, like he's constantly shouting. He also laughs like a retard. One way public school helps you is that people can point this poo poo out until you get self conscious and stop acting stupid. lol he's a 26 year old that stomps his feet and yells at video games at like 2 in the morning, his parents sure did a good job raising him

One time in the walgreens I was browsing affordable summer fun and expired ink cartridges. Caught a glimpse of a homeschooler trying to fall into a mirror. Poor thing, didn't have the heart to tell him it only works the one time.

The homeschool kid at my middle school was okay, he just dressed in clothes that were clearly chosen by his mother and didn't know pop culture stuff. He was also the only one who opted out of the sex ed unit - he just sat at a desk out in the hallway and studied something else during class. Needless to say he was teased mercilessly E: I also had a brief chat with a homeschooler when I was helping at a children's event in my local library. She looked to be about 11 or 12. She wore a baggy shirt and a skirt that went down to her ankles, referred to her baby sister (whom she was holding) as "my pet," and was obviously so hard up for social interaction outside of her family that she seemed excited to talk to me. Me! Pththya-lyi fucked around with this message at 20:53 on May 18, 2015 |

if you're going to homeschool your kid you should at least also make them do strength training so that when they get into real school nobody will gently caress with them

Makes it harder for authorities to subdue them when they inevitably do something horrible to a woman because they have the social skills of a downsy chimp. Don't homeschool your kids, please. It's a really cruel thing to do to them. No one stupid enough to do that to their children is smart enough to teach them anything. It's a real catch 22.

I don't think I've ever met somebody who was homeschooled, or at least I wasn't aware of it.

Never met a home schooled kid because no one around me is religious. Which is consequently why home school kids are so retarded.

My neighbors growing up were homeschooled and weird as poo poo - nonreligious, too. The younger one couldn't loving read until she was like thirteen because she didn't really want to, how is it legal to gently caress up a human being that badly

Very first light, kid. The homeschoolers come cruisin'. So we formed ourselves into tight groups. You know it's... kinda like ol' squares in battle like a, you see on a calendar, like a game of Total War. And the idea was, the homeschooler comes to the nearest kid and that kid, he'd start poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the schoolie would go away. Sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that homeschooler, he looks right into you. Right into your eyes. You know the thing about a schoolie, he's got...lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'. Until he bites ya and those black eyes roll over white. And then, ah then you hear that terrible high pitch screamin' and the sandbox turns red and spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin' they all come in and rip you to pieces.
