[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want to defend the homeschooling issue - I homeschool and we go until mid-June and start after Labor Day. Also, we see nothing wrong with doing all our schooling from 7-11am some days or 4-8pm other days. There's nothing wrong with what the OP's friend did in terms of taking her DD somewhere during traditional school hours. [/quote]

Really? 4 hours of schooling a day? School lasts about 6 3/4 hours. Even if you factor in the 3/4 hours for lunch and recess, that's still 10 hours of less instruction per week.

I have no real experience with homeschooling, except two people I know who were home schooled, that happen to be very bright. My one friend was HS'd by her schizophrenic mother, and she was never bathed, living in filth. She went to college on a full ride and now successfully runs her own business, employing 25 people in white collar jobs.

However, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Have you spent any time in your child's public classroom?? Or are you the parent to babies?  Because I volunteer in my child's classroom and there is much time wasted. I have no doubt in my mind that if my child were given 3 hours of dedicated learning time each day, he would learn way more than in a classroom full of 25 children and one stressed out teacher. As it is I have to supplement his learning at home because the teacher simply does not have the time to give him the reading help he needs.[/quote]
