Homeschooling, while good, is not for everyone. It's been an excellent choice for us, but there are certainly some people that should not homeschool. I know of people who are homeschooling, want to homeschool, or have homeschooled, and I firmly believe that they should not be/have been homeschooled.
There's some homeschooled students that are just down right embarrassing to the rest of us homeschoolers.
There's a girl on my Facebook, she's a little younger than me: 15, I believe. And she is an embarrassment to homeschooling. First of all, she can't capitalize, spell, use punctuation or grammar, make a coherent sentence or make a logical argument. I like her, she's very sweet, but she is definitely one homeschooler who gives others a bad name. I cringe to read what she writes.
Today she was posting about the health care bill. I know she doesn't know anything about it, and I know I don't know anything about it, but at least I have the sense to not go around arguing about it. I think people look a whole smarter if they only stick to arguing subjects that they are knowledgeable in. Talk about something you're clueless about and you're going to look awfully silly.
Today this girl was talking about what an outrage the health care bill is and she was saying we ought to start another civil war over it. She went on to say that the bill is breaking her heart, and she thinks Christ needs to hurry up and come back because she doesn't think Christians should have to suffer so much. Really? I think she needs to pick up a copy of Foxes Book of Martyrs.
Why, oh why do those homeschoolers not see they're giving the rest a bad name? And why do people have to meet with just one homeschooler like that and then decide the rest must be that way too?
As Jeremy would say: Blargh.

Yup. I would say "blargh".
ReplyDeleteI would also say "pancakes", because it's completely and utterly random and no one will have expected it.
And I agree entirely with your post.
Pancakes? Are you part of the American Non Sequitur Society? They may not make sense, but they do like pizza. It makes me think about butterflies.
ReplyDeleteCurious. A society of Non Sequiturs that enjoy pizza? That is truly an interesting banana*.
ReplyDelete*Idea. I just chose "banana" because it was random eggs.
Random eggs. What about a kite?
ReplyDeleteYou know, my first and last ballet recital was to the song "Let's Go Fly A Kite."
